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.

How does this bill support a sustainable future, and one that we can in good conscious hand down to future generations? The Ford and conservative government continue to demonstrate to the people of Ontario that rampant development and profit are foremost in their priority, rather than the actual long term well being of the people, and our natural heritage.

I strongly urge this government to reject this bill, and move forward in consultation with environmental groups and indigenous communities, as well as working in rejuvenating already developed land.
