This is a terrible bill that will gut environental protections that are necessary and hard fought for, at a time when we should be doing everything we can to try to deal with and mitigate climate change in ways that are based on science.

I strongly and vehemently oppose bill 5. I oppose short cuts for industry with no public oversight. I want stronger environmental and endangered species protections. I oppose overwriting the law in special economic zones. I find this proposed bill appalling and fuelled by personal greed.
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.

I strongly oppose the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act under Bill 5 and the introduction of the Species Conservation Act, 2025.

I very strongly oppose Bill 5. This should not be allowed to proceed. Endangered species deserve all of the protection that we can offer them. I do not support short cuts for building.
This is unreasonable, and should not be allowed. There are plenty of ways to develop affordable housing without sacrificing the processes in place which protect our country and ensure we make decisions with an informed approach. This change should not be allowed.
Please see the attached Central Lake Ontario Conservation Authority Board Approved staff report titled "Provincial Proposal to Repeal the Current Endangered Species Act and Replace it With a Proposed Species Conservation Act.", which outlines comments on the proposed changes to the ESA and it's futu

I am submitting this comment to state that I oppose Bill 5. I believe Canada's natural wildlife and ecosystems are a cornerstone in our nation's prosperity and therefore should be respected.

I oppose Bill 5! I want strong environmental protections for endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry with no public oversight, and I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.
This bill is anti-democratic and needs to be stopped. You cannot legislate away the rights of citizens to be informed and to protest harmful decisions made by the government.

I strongly disapprove of Bill 5 because endangered species and habitats must be protected. The changes this bill proposes would jeopardize that by making it easier for the Ontario government and to ignore conservation concerns in favour of economic ones.

This is an over correction to a problem. While the protections of endangered and at risk species is currently difficult this swings too much in the opposite direction.

the Endangered Species Act, 2007 and a proposal for the Species Conservation Act, 2025

Bill 5, otherwise known as “the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025”,

There is a duty of the government to protect the right of every individual in Canada to a healthy environment. The Ontario Premier must uphold the principles of environmental justice, non-regression, and intergenerational equity.

The reason protection for species at risk is so complex is because it is hard to know the full consequences if we neglect to account for them.

Habitat loss is death by a thousand cuts, both small and large. This has been happening continuously especially under the Ford govt. We are now in a biodiversity crisis and should be finding ways to protect critical landscapes, not loosen rules and regs.
