Dear Dear Premier Ford, Minister Lecee and MPP Thanigasalam,
I am writing to express my deep concerns about Bill 5, Protecting Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025, which you have introduced.

Ontario needs to be careful about how it stewards our environment. This SEZ act, done with haste, does not reflect the kind of governance we need to be leading on. Please reconsider the intent and approach of this proposal and do not move forward with this proposal. Withdraw it. Thank you.
Please do not go through with this
Please put more protection for endangered and species at risk
City of Toronto already MURDERED!! two innocent coyotes at liberty village - please stop hurting animals and the environment

Stop the greed and destruction on Ontario. Ford's greed knows no bounds. 413, Ontario place, science center and the list goes on. This bill must be stopped.
Given the recent events in the USA, this Bill is disturbingly similar to allowing economic gain and exempting certain companies and industries from any laws protecting the environment.

NO, I AM NOT IN FAVOUR OF THIS BILL. We cannot violate our treaties with First Nations, and we cannot continue to ignore environmental damage caused by careless development.

Rather than weakening environmental laws, the current government of Ontario should be working to strengthen existing laws. This government has set us back a decade or more in decarbonization and now wants to sell our future to aid a few developer benefactors.

Schedule 9 goes against every democratic principle our country has ever tried to adhere to. By giving the elected legislature’s power to determine what laws govern Ontario to the premier and his chosen cabinet they can then apply different laws (or no laws) to different people for any reason.

The Special Economic Zones Act is a worrisome proposal that lacks any sort of detail. It appears that the government intends to exempt projects from due process including those of municipalities in an attempt to "fuel the economy".

This proposal is outrageous and ill-advised. It is undermining of the efforts of millions of Canadians who work each day to build stability, safety, and conscientious practice into their own fields of action, no matter how modest.

The Ford government should not be allowed to give itself sweeping powers in the name of the economy. I believe we have to protect the people and the environment around us first and always before development happens. It just makes sense and avoids mistakes.

I Object to Bill 5 and the speed at which the Ontario government is attempting to pass this.
The measures called for will undo all the efforts made to protect Ontario citizens from the harmful effects of our changing climate.

This is incredibly short sited and horrible for the environment, endangered species, archaeology, Indigenous rights and basically everyone now and especially in the future. There are many more important things than money and this bill is all about lining wealthy developers' pockets!!
