Removing environmental protections at a time when the natural world that supports us is already under immense pressure is ill conceived. Do not remove these protections!
I am deeply concerned about loss of biodiversity. I am very concerned about the loss that th removal of all these species from the endangered species list.
I strongly oppose the changes to the Species Conservation Act, as this will cause irreparable damage to our environment. Many of these species being removed are absolutely critical as pollinators. Please repeal bill 5 and restore protections to the Endangered Species.

I do not support this proposal. Rather than significantly weakening protections for species at risk, this government should be safeguarding biodiversity, respecting Indigenous rights and ensuring local communities benefit from the ecosystem services that nature freely provides.

I oppose the proposed Species Conservation Act, 2025 (ERO #025-0909). This legislation would weaken existing protections for species at risk and their habitats by reducing scientific oversight and removing automatic habitat protection.

The changes to the Endangered Species act are deplorable and only have the interest of land developers at heart. It provides Cabinet the power to decide which species deserve protection, effectively making protection a political choice, not a scientific one.

This bill slashes the protection that was previously established in the Endangered Species Act under the guise of economic prosperity without considering that protecting the environment should be at the core of economic considerations.
