Here’s my comment I left if you want to copy/paste/modify:

I strongly oppose this new legislation, which not only dismantles essential protections for endangered wildlife and ecosystems, but also disregards the rights and sovereignty of Indigenous communities. This bill represents a profound failure of responsible governance. It ignores the urgent environmental challenges we face, undermines science-based conservation efforts, and violates the principles of meaningful consultation with Indigenous Peoples as required by both Canadian law and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Although the language used to describe this change tries to make it sound positive, I have no belief that the Ontario government would use these changes in good faith. I see this as a road to less environmental protections and less input from scientists and the people affected by these new developments and losses to our environment and ecosystems.
