Ontario not effectively protecting boreal caribou habitat: federal minister
Ontario is failing to effectively protect some of the critical habitat for boreal caribou, Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault has warned in a letter to the province obtained by The Canadian Press.
But Piccini told Guilbeault about the pending investment in February, and still Guilbeault expressed concerns in the letter dated March 6. Ontario and the federal government entered into an agreement last year to protect the caribou – though environmental advocates at the time said the deal fell short because it allowed for too much logging and mining in caribou habitat.
