Stop Bill 5!

We are in a global biodiversity crisis. In Ontario alone, more than 230 plants and animals are at risk. The healthy forests, waters and wetlands species at risk rely on sustain all Ontarians.

I urge the government to:

– Cancel Bill 5 and plans to scrap the Endangered Species Act or implement “regulation-free zones” for resource extraction.

– Commit to strengthening the Endangered Species Act.

Rather than significantly weakening protections for species at risk, the government should be safeguarding biodiversity, respecting Indigenous rights and ensuring local communities benefit from the ecosystem services that nature freely provides.
