Comment
I strongly oppose Bill 5. Bill 5’s provisions risk undermining environmental protections and weakening public oversight. By limiting conservation authority input, reducing public participation in decision-making, and streamlining development in sensitive areas, the bill prioritizes speed over safety and long-term sustainability.
This approach threatens the natural systems that support clean water, flood protection, biodiversity, and public health. Without careful safeguards, both people and wildlife face increased risks from habitat loss, ecosystem disruption, and unchecked urban sprawl.
