I OPPOSE this regressive and harmful bill that will speed up the destruction of critical habitat for endangered species, removes basic environmental rights, including rights to be informed and have a say, and fails to respect Indigenous peoples' rights

This Bill is a shameful endorsement of private interests, namely mining proponents and projects, at the cost of any legal requirement to consider the interests of the public, communities, nature and health.  Bill 5 will undoubtedly erode public confidence in transparent and accountable government decision-making and cause irreparable harm to environmental and human rights.

I SUPPORT the protection of nature, Indigenous rights, and the consideration of the people’s best interest (not corporations!) in government decision-making. 

If Mr. Ford wants to distance himself from Trumpism and American alt-right politics, this blatant and shameful power grab is the exact wrong way. Shame on you Doug.
