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 DO NOT support Bill 5. It removes the protection of over 230 at risk or endangered species that are vital to the ecosystems of Ontario AND Canada as a whole.

No, no and no again! This takes away community input, skirts environmental safeguards like EA assessments and literally forces projects upon people!

No entity should be able to "fast track" projects without going through the proper assessments for archeological, environmental and other critical studies!

I honestly thought this was a joke when learning about it, so my opinion is a resounding "no, nope, no way"! Stick to EA assessments, doing things properly and safely...So that our country continues to be looked after correctly and not bullied into projects that the people have no input on.
I oppose this 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 Natio

Rushing to make jobs is not as important as doing it all correctly, safely and with the input of the PEOPLE that these projects are planned to be dumped upon. Its cutting corners at its finest and that never ends well for citizens/nature/historical sites caught in the middle.

This is a very suspicious proposal.
Having power over this type of situation is a dangerous slippery slope and have dire consequences.
I do not approve this proposal.

I do not support this bill. There should be not exceptions to environmental protection. Once a habitat is destroyed, it cannot be restored overnight. Fast tracking economic development in the short term is short sighted for short-term gains.

We are at a time where we need increased, not weakened protections for the natural environment in our province. Environmental conservation is not merely an inconvenience - it is a process as important to our health and well-being that must not be compromised for economic development.

I 100% oppose bill 5. I want STRONGER environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry, due to its proven corruptness. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.
In short: Nope.

Unwarranted and unnecessary. We are trying to stop the extinction of species and here you are knowingly doing it. Please make a better choice that is based on morality and not greed.
This Bill poses significant concerns to wildlife and habitat. At a time where climate change impacts are being felt more and more, it's prudent to add more structure and review to developments that affect major eco systems, not less.

I oppose Bill 5. I want stronger environmental protections for endangered species. We cannot keep ignoring our planet and the gifts it offers. We share this planet with millions of species, have already forced many to extinction, when will it end?

This Bill is Mr. Ford taking advantage of of a situation. This Bill is wrong. We need guardrails in place to so the environmental concerns for projects can be protected.
