I am wholeheartedly against the removal of protections for species at risk and their habitat to enable quick approvals for mining or industry in Ontario.

No, putting the economy before the environment is short sighted and selfish. What use is making money if you don’t have clean air to breath and clean water to drink not to mention land to grow food and a climate that is livable??
I am wholeheartedly against the removal of protections for species at risk and their habitat to enable quick permit approvals for mining and industry in Ontario.

I cannot express how strongly I disagree with this decision. Designation of 'special economic zones' will override and disrespect existing legislation that is in place to protect Ontario's environment.

Bill 5 overreaches into the Canadian constitution to take away 1st Nations Rights, destroys nature, air, water and communities for the benefit of pay for play industry
Under Bill 5 Special Economic Zones will be created to facilitate development. However, any legislation that affects Indigenous peoples' inherent Treaty rights must have free, prior and informed consent. The rights of our First Nations cannot be overlooked or undermined.

I am pleased with the proposed bill and hope it will help with finally letting real productivity grow for Ontarians. I believe that our economy is sorely held back by our own excessive regulations.

f passed, Bill 5 would:
Terminate the environmental assessment (EA) for the Eagle’s Nest mine - a proposed mining project in Treaty 9 lands, part of the proposed Ring of Fire (Schedule 3)

This is assault. I do not agree with this bill. You are going to endanger the lives of many animals and disrespect indigenous peoples. To line your pockets? How greedy of you
Bill 5 is a regressive and harmful bill that will speed up the destruction of critical habitat for endangered species, removes basic environmental rights, including rights to be informed and have a say, and fails to respect Indigenous peoples' rights, including those recognized in the United Nations

Bill 5 is purely for economic gain. It disregards the environment, Indigenous peoples, and climate change. It will destroy many habitats for political and economic gain.

I strongly oppose Bill 5. It dismantles Ontario’s Endangered Species Act, replacing it with a hollow framework that prioritizes development over conservation.

Please do not continue with Bill 5. Dissolving critical environmental organizations such as the endangered species act, recovery plans, habitat protection, as well as scientific field research is not acceptable. We have already begun to experience the negative effects of environmental destruction

I do not support this bill. The Special Economic Zones Act would lead to the destruction of countless important habitats and valuable natural environments. It would allow developers to put immediate profits over the economic value that natural spaces provide for all Ontarians.

Please do not allow this Bill to pass! It is in direct opposition with what the people of Canada and Ontario stand for and is a clear fast track by Doug Ford to make his rich friends even richer under the guise of a crisis.
