The new "definition" of habitat is deliberately vague and does not align with any of the long established scientific definitions of habitat. It ignores the importance of the surrounding landscape for sustaining life.

I'm very concerned to hear that our leaders' proposed solution to housing difficulties is to cease vital protections on our surrounding environment.

I am a very concerned Ontarian. Initially I was apalled by the Ford government's plan to scrap the greenbelt protections in the interest of earning billions more for already billionaire developers. Then I applauded Ford when he went back on this egregious decision.

Alderville First Nation would like to share its concerns regarding the Ford government’s proposed changes to the Ontario Endangered Species Act, currently titled the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act, 2025.

We need to protect our vulnerable animals and save the ecosystem as much as possible. The damage from the industries is severe in the past of decades in Ontario. Natural environments are much more valuable than anything else. The projects have to be in harmony with the people and animals.

As a constituent that lives near protected environmental land, and one who fought loudly to save the greenbelt, I am appalled that this government is once again trying to lift environmental regulations and change them from something scientific into something political.

I oppose bill 5. I want stronger environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.
Please act responsibly and say NO to Bill 5! Degrading environmental policies and eroding wildlife protections is the wrong choice for the economy, the ecosystem, and the future. It's wrong for Ontario and wrong for Canada. We are begging you to use your critical thinking skills.

I am opposed to these changes Òntario must protect our nature and our endangered species. I want my grandchildren to live in a province that protected the wildlife. Your government wants to bulldoze everything but at a cost for our precious natural environment and our farm land Stop this Bill.
As a concerned Ontarian, a business owner, and more importantly, as a parent, I am writing to express my strong opposition to the implementation of Bill 5, the "Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act." This bill, in its current form, represents a profound betrayal of our responsibility to saf

I strongly oppose Bill 5, the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act. This legislation poses a serious threat to Ontario’s natural heritage, democratic processes and Indigenous rights.

How dare you try and get rid of these protections.
The planet belongs to our grand children's children, not corporate developers looking to line their pockets.

This Bill 5 is completely irresponsible and yet abother attempt by the Ford government to develop green spaces in Ontario. Do not oush this through - there are other more environmentally efficient ways to get more business in Ontario, like simply offering spaces that exist in a diverse province.
This proposal absolutely hinders environmental protection. The whole point of these protections is to prevent development and sustain ecosystems that are already in place. By stripping away existing protections and redefining terms to suit developer interests is simply disgusting.

Bill 5 presents a false choice between a healthy environment and a thriving economy. An honest and competent government would not show such disdain for its citizens, land and the rule of law.

I am writing to express my profound concern regarding the changes made to the Endangered Species Act. This landmark legislation has been a cornerstone of wildlife conservation for decades, playing a crucial role in preventing the extinction of countless species and safeguarding critical habitats.

I oppose Bill 5 and the changes to the Endangered Species Act. Ontario needs tighter regulations and public oversight for industry regarding its environmental impacts.
