Dear Premier Ford,
I am writing to express deep concern about Bill 5 and your government’s continued efforts to dismantle Ontario’s environmental safeguards.

I oppose and disagree with the changes in Bill 5. I oppose short cuts for industries and corporate greed. I want strong environmental protects and Bill 5 is anti protective of our animals and environment. Please STOP Bill 5. This is corporate greed.
Bill 5 will certainly unleash something but it seems to have a very simple view of the nature of the corporate goals of the "trusted proponents" the executive is going identify.

After reading through this bill, I strongly opposed of this Bill 5 being passed. I want more environmental protections including the protection of endangered animals. No shortcuts should be taken, full protection full life. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones. Thank you.
I strongly oppose bill 5. I want more environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones. I believe bill 5 will have negative impacts on Ontario’s protected environment and species!!!!!!

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Ontario Bill 5, which proposes significant rollbacks to the Endangered Species Act. This legislation would allow developers to bypass essential habitat protections by paying into a fund instead of restoring or protecting at-risk species' habitats.

I am writing to express my unequivocal opposition to Bill 5, Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025. This bill represents a sweeping and deeply troubling dismantling of Ontario’s environmental protection laws, Indigenous consultation processes, and public participation rights.

This Act will have serious negative consequences for the province of Ontario. This bill will further weaken environmental protections which have already been gutted to bare minimum by the Ford government.

Bill 5, particularly due to the special economic zones, should be rejected. The removal of legal protections for species at risk, farmlands, indigenous rights, public safety and privacy, heritage, employment, and workplace safety is abhorrent. These protections should be strengthened, not removed.

The people of this province want strong environmental protections, not thinly veiled plans to get rid of existing protections as quickly as possible.

I strongly oppose the proposed Special Economic Zones Act, 2025. While economic growth and efficiency are important goals, this legislation risks bypassing critical safeguards that protect our environment, democratic processes, and local communities.

I am against this proposal in its entirety and ask it not be accepted. I ask Ontario to do better.
This proposal raises serious concerns around transparency, accountability, and environmental stewardship.

There is no specified definition of the purpose of these SEZs or the criteria to be used to justify their designation. The government can exempt trusted companies or projects from normal rules, like:
o Municipal by-laws which may have been established for very good reasons

I strongly oppose Bill 5. Removing environmental protections, and public oversight is the OPPOSITE of what a prudent, future-oriented government should be doing. If we destroy this planet, as you seem intent on doing, then we will be screwed.
