I am concerned with the proposal to repeal the Endangered Species Act and replace it with the Species Conservation Act.
My primary concerns revolve around the potential for weakened protection for species at risk due to several key changes:

I support initiatives to improve ESA related processes as they are certainly not perfect, but am concerned with the proposed approach. I will focus on three main areas of concern for me.

I disagree. This is not in the best interests of the environment or the wildlife. I work as a realtor and I want to see more houses built, but properly, with respect for the environment and the people. Please do not do this. Take the me time to do no harm as you build for the future.

I oppose the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007 and a proposal for the Species Conservation Act, 2025.
The proposed changes serve to weaken current protections and demonstrates the governments shift to prioritize profit over environmental protection and conservation.

PLEASE don’t do this.
I know the government believes it has a strong mandate to do as it wishes.
But most Ontarians do not want a Ford dictatorship government.

I object thoroughly to these proposed changes. As an ordinary citizen, I worry about what happens to our bio and eco-diversity when the ON government erodes further these protections. I ask that you abandon this latest effort to incur environmental harm for short-term objectives.

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.

I am totally against any changes made to the endangered species act. It should stay as is and NO development should be allowed to occur on any currently protected lands.
Bill 5 does not allow for a democratic process when creation of projects over ride consultation with environmental and labor laws and bypassing indigenous consultations.
This appears unjust and short sited.
