I fear that Bill 5 and changes to the Endangered Species Act would allow the government to sidestep essential environmental protections, workers’ rights, and meaningful consultation with local communities and Indigenous nations.

Bill 5 is a transparent attempt to line the pockets of Ford's developer friends at the expense of our ecosystems and treaty responsibilities. Shame on the Conservative government.
Please do not fast track the process. Our wildlife and nature are very important. This deserves time to gather and review all information and time for consideration before moving forward with any decisions. Protection of both is so very vital.
A species conservation act should be supported based on the purpose of the endangered species act NOT based on cost impact to housing, transit, or infrastructure.

I oppose bill 5 and the changes it proposes. While the outline in the surface looks like it is an improebt to the existing endangered species act, reading more closely, it is full of loopholes, vague proposals and an easy out for disregarding habitats and species altogether.

Please do not end the Endangered Species act to facilitate Bill 5. This was put in place for a reason and to disregard it for Bill 5 means that any legislation that protects things can be altered to suit anyone. We are the voice to say no!

The overall approach of build first-fix later to the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007 are short-sighted. It is not well thought through and merely provides short cuts to project development without taking any consideration of the species the act is trying to protect.

Ontario and Canada have diverse wildlife. Watching war, wildfires, the oceans heating up is already threatening so much of our forests and wildlife due to our negligence throughout the world. We cannot survive without a diverse and thriving ecosystem.

This is a time where we need more environmental protections, not less. If this is passed, we are sure to see not only these protections but the vital land bulldozed.

I do not approve of this change to the endangered species act. Protection of the provinces wildlife should be a top concern for our government. I believe that the changes to this act will result in detrimental outcomes to our ecosystems.
The proposed interim changes to Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, 2007, and the planned Species Conservation Act, 2025, are a reckless step backward for biodiversity and a masterclass in prioritizing short-term economic gains over long-term ecological survival.
