Dear ERO, I am sending a comment on the Bill 5 and I hope that you do the right thing and reject it because we have to start caring for our planet and the creatures that live on it. I am from the USA and the current administration is trying to weaken the laws that protect our environment.

This is not protecting wildlife and endangered species. Animals have a right to the land that they inhabited as well and the proposed changes is harmful and damaging.
I do not support of the interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, or the proposal for the Species Conservation.

Dear Premier Ford,
I am writing you to stand with the hundreds of environmental organizations that are concerned about Bill 5.
I’m writing to strongly condemn this bill, and ask that you:

I strongly oppose this change to the endangered species act because it plans to redefine habitat needs for animals. Many animals such as foxes or other predators require a big range or territory, they do not only exist in one small space like an ant colony.

I am deeply troubled by this bill. Not only does it remove decades of species protection in a climate crisis, but it allows the government to bypass the legislature. Our future is only ensured through intentional habitat restoration, not sweeping destruction.

I urge the Ontario government to withdraw Bill 5. This bill significantly weakens environmental protections, particularly for endangered species, and undermines Indigenous rights.

I oppose Bill 5.
I’m concerned that this bill as written is too far reaching and has the potential to be abused for the benefit for private interests instead of the public good.

Unfortunately, this government has tried, time and time again, to strip away protections that are vital to maintaining our sensitive environment.

I'm really worried about Bill 5. I'm worried that it will override conscious decisions originally made to protect endangered species, the environment and human rights. Nothing is worth sacrificing these decisions.
Overall, the proposed changes to the ESA and the new Species Conservation Act highlight a lack of transparency on how these proposed changes were decided upon. It puts species conservation unnecessarily indirect conflict with sustainable development.

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 in Bill 5. I don't think this respects our Environmental Bill of Rights

I do not agree with changes to this act. We are destroying what little progress we have made in the restoration of green spaces in Ontario and will halt all said progress with changes to acts such as this one. No.
It is worth the effort to protect nature.
Shortcuts only hurt everyone and everything in the long run. Long-term thinking for the environment is the only way to ensure survival.
