What strikes me immediately…

What strikes me immediately is that redefining "habitat" as a singular den or dwelling and the "area immediately surrounding [it]" seems to serve as a way to permit development within endangered species' habitats by simply denying that they are, in fact, endangered species' habitats. A habitat consists of FAR more than a single dwelling, and to deny that is uninformed at best and devious at worst. Beyond that, I don't think making it easier for private developers to bypass environmental protection laws is a good idea AT ALL. Our planet should ALWAYS be put before profits, in all cases. The fact that such a short-sighted scheme is being proposed in the provincial parliament is concerning and upsetting.

I think the entirety of Bill 5 is absolutely nefarious; I wouldn't be surprised to see something like this attempted by a Captain Planet villain. I would be IMMENSELY saddened to see our province throw away all regard for the natural environment in favour of seeing a few people's bottom line go up.
