January 14, 2014 – TORONTO – Ecojustice lawyers are in court today challenging an Ontario government regulation that allows major industrial sectors to kill species at-risk and destroy their habitat. The regulation provides broad exemptions from prohibitions in Ontario’s Endangered Species Act (ESA). Ecojustice’s clients, Ontario Nature and Wildlands League, allege that the Ontario government acted unlawfully by making a regulation that undermines the ESA’s core purpose – to protect and recover at-risk species.
