If passed, Bill 5 would:

Repeal Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, 2007, marking the end of meaningful protections for endangered, threatened and special concern species in Ontario. But it is much bigger than this!

It would give the Premier and his Cabinet powers to give their friends or anyone else they choose, an exemption from all provincial and municipal laws that amounts to a personal license to mistreat workers, bust unions, ignore workplace safety, pollute or even snoop around other people’s private backyards with impunity.

It would keep Ontario dependent on imported fracked gas from the U.S by letting the government ban Chinese components in energy projects, shutting the door on clean, affordable wind and solar energy.
Exempt the Premier’s preferred developers from the requirements of the Environmental Bill of Rights.
