As a voter, this proposal goes against what I and many Ontarians with whom I have contact. The environment and the economy are closely connected and such measures would result in an overexploitation that destroys it.

It is important for any government to consider the environment we live in. Taking it for granted, allowing laws to demonstrate a value for money and economic gain over the land that feeds us and cleans the air we breathe is ignorant and self-destructive.

Dear Ontario Government, I am writing to you to ask you to reconsider the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007 and a proposal for the Species Conservation Act, 2025..

This bill is so shortsighted. Biodiversity is key to long term sustainable economic growth. Please do not allow something with such long term impact to take place for the sake of so called “unleashing our economy”.
The comments are being submitted on behalf of staff at the City of Waterloo. Comments regarding proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act and Species at Risk are contained within.
The Endangered Species Act, 2007 (“ESA”) was originally enacted in 1971 to protect and support the recovery of Species At Risk (“SAR”) as a result of development and loss of biodiversity.

I hope to make conservation as smooth of a process legislatively as possible. We need to protect our unique biodiversity. If these changes will make benefitting conservation more accessible, I am all for it.
I am writing to strongly object to the proposed exemptions from the Environmental Bill of Rights that will remove the right of Ontarians to be advised of, or to comment on, any required permits at Ontario Place, on or off site, to support the project.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 5, as proposed in this registry notice. This legislation poses serious risks to Ontario’s environment, biodiversity, and the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

This new Act appears to give developers the right to wipe out protected species all over Ontario. Shame on you all for coming up with such a shortsighted proposal which will put all our beloved wildlife in danger of extinction.

Wildlife needs to be preserved and protected.
Anything outside of that is just diminishing all wildlife populations.
Ontario is home to many endangered species.
Disrupting or changing the wildlife species act will endanger even more.

Bill 5 “raises a number of potential areas of significant concern that if not properly considered and addressed, could have a negative impact on the ability of municipalities to comprehensively and effectively plan for the sustainable growth of their communities and ensure the protection of agricult

Absolutely disgraceful. The Ontario government's opposition to repealing the gutting of the Endangered Species Act is a blatant betrayal of our responsibility to protect the natural world.

As someone who was born, and lived my entire life in Ontario I do not support Bill 5 and everything it proposes. I do not support paving over farmland, wetlands, and essential wildlife habitat.

Every species plays a crucial role in our environment. Please remember they do not have a voice to stand up for themselves, but you have the power to protect the voiceless, to protect these endangered animals; it’s their planet, too and they deserve to thrive
