In this day and age, protecting our endangered species is crucial. It is easy to get caught up in the pace of the world and want things done faster and cheaper. While this can be great in some circumstances, it shouldn’t be at the expense of another.

I oppose Bill 5. It tramples on indigenous rights, it ignores science and guts environmental protections. I want a place for my kid to grow up with green space and animals - not concrete
This whole plan is asinine. Stop ruining the environment to line your pockets Doug Ford. The only way our ecosystem works is with ALL types of wildlife. If you allow the endangered and threatened ones to not longer be protected then the whole cycle will fail and it will be solely your fault.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Ontario’s proposed plan to repeal the Endangered Species Act and replace it with the Species Conservation Act.

No - I disapprove of the proposed changes. A project shouldn’t start before the Ministry has reviewed an application, habitat absolutely must be protected. There is nothing vague about needing habitat to live.

My comment is: with a “registration first” approach, will “activity” be started, potentially damaging habitats, and then when the activity is evaluated but the damage has already been done there is nothing we can do to fix what has already been done.

What exactly are you thinking? DO YOU HAVE TO RUIN EVERYTHING that made Canada such a great country? All because of GREED? This used to be a great country to live in.
Horrible idea and a great way for companies to skirt environmental regulations and proper research prior to projects like mining and land exploration. Not only does this bill infringe on indigenous sovereign communities, but it is disinformation for the general public, who

I would like you to revoke the intention to make caring for endangered species voluntary rather than being overseen by the government! If you need additional funding to run this program, find the money by eliminating government waste (I have 100 ideas if you’d like to hear them). Thank you
The proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act are harmful, short sighted, and do not benefit humans or animals living in Ontario, only certain, harmful types of businesses.

What are you doing Ontario?? Our echo system is fragile and worth protecting! Why are we going backwards? We are supposed to be protecting our environment not turning a blind eye on endangered species or chewing up nature for rich developers!!

There is only one clear agenda by changing Bill 5...greed and profit. It didn't take long for Ford to show his true colours again. It's frightening for the future. Stop this madness! Protect our vulnerable wildlife...please!!
Although I appreciate the goal of trying to improve speed of construction and development, there needs to be thought and consideration for the environment and species that once used or destroyed cannot be repaired.

Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT get rid of any protections our natural world including bird habitats (not just nesting sites) or any other plant or animal species protections. We should be putting more protections in place not stripping protections away.

It is preposterous to continue to pave over our agricultural lands and destroy the natural habitats of our flora and fauna. How will we feed our own people (Ontario and the rest of Canada) as well as send needed food to the rest of the world if we continue to eat away at our rich farmland.
