“Redefining Protections:
We are making changes to focus on the core protections essential to the conservation of species. We are proposing to remove the concept of “harass” from species protections. Also, the definition of habitat is proposed to be reframed as follows:
for animal species:

Leave the Greenbelt and our endangered species alone! There are other less vulnerable areas available for development that you can bulldoze all day long.

There are too many abandoned buildings that could be used for housing and other things, the arguement that it "takes too long" to make sure animals are protected is a gross reason. The birds were here first.

Risking endangered species in the name of fast tracking housing is foolish and only wanted by those who seek to profit from the developments. Affordable housing IS required but there is plenty of land not protecting our limited natural species that can be build upon.

I strongly oppose Bill 5. It guts protections, ignores science, and tramples Indigenous rights. It’s a step backwards and will destroy delicate ecosystems that will in turn destroy our own environments.
We do not need dismantling of environmental protections.

Eliminating the Endangered Species Act is a giant step in the wrong direction in order to use fragile habitat for development and create the horror of Urban sprawl. Our wildlife is losing habitat at an alarming rate. Very short sighted … once it’s gone - it’s gone.
