I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 5, which poses a significant threat to species at risk and the ecological integrity of Ontario's natural landscapes.

The proposed changes to the ESA are shortsighted and put short-term economic gain over the ability for our natural ecosystems to sustain species at risk and ourselves.

Thank you for raising awareness about this urgent issue. It's deeply concerning to see the proposed dismantling of the Endangered Species Act in Ontario. Wildlife doesn’t just depend on nests or burrows—it relies on entire, interconnected ecosystems.

An animal species requires more than just a "dwelling place" to survive. As the current Endangered Species Act (2007) stipulates, this inlcudes area for feeding and migration which is much larger than simply the area "immediately surrounding a dwelling place" (stated by the proposed ammendment).

The proposed Species Conservation Act 2025 will weaken existing laws which protect endangered species. This government should be enacting laws which further protect endangered species.

The proposed change prioritizes development over the well-being of the environment and must be reconsidered.
Focusing only on species' dwelling and not the areas where they are likely to live threatens their survival.

Once a species is gone, there is no going back. So I disagree that we have to sacrifice species for the ease of for-profit developers and the like. Is wiping out the environment to build more cookie cutter LARGE single family dwellings that needed?

This CANNOT happen. the government should not have the power to change or endanger the environment that keeps species and people. This is wrong and a violation of rights to a protected and safe environment. THIS CANNOT HAPPEN.

I believe this bill will expediate building in the province, but at the cost of our biodiversity and ecosystems of this province. This bill highlights the lack of concern this government has with the well being of its citizens.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to Bill 5 proposed by the Ontario government. This bill is a dangerous and reckless move to prioritize business over biodiversity and threatens to trample Indigenous rights and community consultation.

Safeguarding key environmental legislation such as the Endangered Species Act, 2007 and the Species Conservation Act, 2005 is imperative in this era of significant species decline and the resulting effect on human health and survival.
I urge the following:
– Cancel Bill 5 and plans to scrap the Endangered Species Act or implement “regulation-free zones” for resource extraction.
– Commit to strengthening the Endangered Species Act.

It is outrageous to propose that a government dedicated to smoothing the path for rich developers should have control of which species should be protected and which not.
This proposal should be stopped.

In the weeks since this has been posted I have failed to find the words to express how utterly disgusted, disappointed, enraged, and entirely defeated I am by this proposal.

It absolutely necessary that government protect endangered species, their ecosystems and the environment. It cannot be left up to voluntary efforts. I am against the proposed changes.
I am opposed to the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act 2007 and the proposal for the Species Conservation Act 2025. I am a property owner on Loon Call Lake in North Kawartha, located in the North Kawartha Signature Site Provincial Park.
