I am opposed to Bill 5. This is recklessness government and is not indictive of a government operating in the best interest of its constituents, but instead its own best interest and the best interest of those corporations it selects.

I oppose Bill 5. I want stronger environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.

This amendment should not apply to any properties determined to have cultural heritage value or interest. A Cultural Heritage Evaluation Report (CHER) of the subject properties within the proposed Special Economic Zone must be completed before a decision on granting the Zone.

At no point do the regulatory protections to Ontario's flora, fauna, and waterways hinder or endanger Ontario's economic potential. It is a demonstration of poor insight and corporate greed to endanger the flourishing and sustainability of Ontario's wild places.

I am against Bill 5, which includes enacting the Special Economic Zones Act,2025.

I do not believe this bill is designed to protect Ontario from a U.S. tariff threat. This government will do anything to ram through new developments without proper consultation. This is evidenced by Ford's decision to take back the Green Belt for development by his cronies.

I am against any Bill that doesn’t put First Nation rights FIRST. Because I remember what happened at Grassy Narrows!
I also oppose any Bill that waters down the Endangered Species Act. What is it with Conservatives and poisoning the environment?!!

Special Economic Zones appears to be vague like usual. Leaving loop holes big enough an elementary school student could drive a Hummer 3 through. A wild wild west approach.
If this bill were to become law, it would cause devastating effects to our environment. Canada is a nation renowned for its natural beauty, and it is the responsibility of all levels of government to protect it.
