We need to protect our environment and ecosystems. If decisions are made that are going to damage the wildlife and species living in green space this isn’t a decision that can be easily reversed and corrected.
As an Ontarian, I am profoundly disappointed to see our government proposing changes that are likely to have long-term impacts on so many who live here, human and otherwise.

Hello,
As a nurse, our health is greatly ties to our environment. I have great cause for concern if we are removing protection for the variety of species that are part of our environment.
I am absolutely not in favor of bill 5.
Thanks you for considering the voices of Ontarians.

I find it appalling that one would propose we cut back on environmental protections for the sake of building. Perhaps it would be better to streamline building permits and focus on cutting down the cost to build for individuals instead of removing protections on wildlife.
As a life-long resident of Ontario, I vehemently and fundamentally oppose this proposal. The current approach to conservation is complicated and lengthy for a reason - if it was not, it would not be remotely as effective at conservation.

I oppose these changes as an Ontario resident who cares deeply about the environment on account of my upbringing by my family who are all avid hunters, fishermen, hikers, and overall passionate outdoors people.

It's incomprehensible that in the year 2025 in an advanced nation, governing bodies do not recognize the importance of maintaining safeguards to biodiversity, species at risk and the lands on which we all depend.

As a grassroots, environmental activist and Indigenous ally, I strongly oppose this legislation and I'm appalled that a Government of Ontario, supposedly acting in the best interests of its constituents, would suggest that Bill 5 is the best way to protect Ontario’s economy.

I am outraged by the proposed dismantling of the Endangered Species Act through the so-called Species Conservation Act, 2025. This is a blatant attack on environmental protection, handing power to developers at the expense of Ontario’s most vulnerable species.

Wholeheartedly rejecting Bill 5
Forest City is our claim to fame, why decimate Conservation areas and Geenspaces? Lets build houses in the flat sprawl around the city and improve the road and transit infrastructure instead.

I strongly oppose Bill 5 and the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007, as well as the introduction of the Species Conservation Act, 2025. This is one of the most alarming and anti-democratic pieces of legislation ever put forward in Ontario.

Dear Premier Ford,
I am deeply concerned about your government’s plan to weaken protections for Ontario’s endangered species in the name of speeding up infrastructure projects.

Our wildlife and natural lands are key to our identity as Ontarians. Stripping the Endangered Species Act as a means of economic growth Does Not protect our fragile natural spaces or our wildlife, and will tarnish our identity.

To build a healthy and resilient Ontario, we need a strong Endangered Species Act that protects imperiled species and ensures communities can benefit from the many ecosystem services that nature freely provides.
Interesting proposed changes. Streamlining between provincial and federal to reduce duplication could be efficient. The change of the definition of habitat reduces the protection needed by species.
