We represent the Toronto…

We represent the Toronto East End Climate Collective (TEECC), a non-partisan group of individuals working to understand the causes of the climate crisis and who advocate for constructive responses.

We respectfully submit that Schedules 2 and 10 of Bill 5 would cause harm by stripping recognition of critical habitat and allowing destruction of these areas. The only way to reliably protect habitat—and the endangered and threatened species that rely on it—is to prohibit outright the activities that would destroy them.

Given the opportunity, nature will restore and regenerate environments in amazing ways.
