I oppose these proposed changes to the ESA. You need to look at how we can improve the processes of the ESA, not repeal it outright. Supporting habitat must be included in habitat protections and there must be compensation for SAR habitat loss.
I strongly oppose Bill C-5. While it may be presented as a move toward modernizing the justice system, it risks undermining both public safety and the foundational rights of Indigenous Peoples.

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.

Wolves must keep full ESA protections. This keystone species is already trying to survive daily from being trapped, shot or poisoned illegally.
If you strip these protections, they stand no chance for survival and hundreds of other species will also be doomed to extinction.

I do not agree with the updates of this proposal, I do not think the government should have discretion to remove species at risk. The new plan does not seem good enough to me to support the change while wanting to protect species even though I do think it is important to speed up the process.

Bill 5 needs to be stopped! Giving the government the power to “remove species at risk” gives them the power to build anywhere, on any land that they want. We need to do more to protect our species at risk.
I urge the Ontario government to withdraw Bill 5. This bill significantly weakens environmental protections, particularly for endangered species, and undermines Indigenous rights.

If Endangered Species Act permits are indeed "slow and complex", then the government should instead engage ministry staff and stakeholders and undertake a thorough program review to identify areas for improvement.

I am deeply concerned about the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. We cannot weakens environmental laws to address short-term economic concerns as it will only weaken our environment and society in the long-term.

Indigenous people have fought for our land, rights, and the non human beings that inhabit this land. We cannot lose our most precious lands for more retail or housing development.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 5. Although I recognize the need for accessible and affordable housing, I do not believe this Bill adequately addresses this issue and will worsen the ongoing biodiversity crisis in Ontario.

Bill 5 falls short in protecting ontario’s species at risk. Bill 5’s change to the definition of habitat is very concerning to me, as there are many areas that species at risk need to partake in important behaviours that go beyond what is outlined under Bill 5’s new definition of habitat.

I am opposed to Bill 5, Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025.
Ontario needs stronger environmental protections. This bill places profit over our environment and I strongly object.

I am opposed to Bill5! It will do unthinkable damage to fragile eco systems and the animals that live in them. And for what reason?! Greed, just greed. We do not want this bill to pass!
I am deeply opposed to this new proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. While I understand that the housing crisis requires new development and quickly, there are other ways to improve efficiency without targeting our most vulnerable animals and plants.
