I oppose the changes outlined in this act, and I think that it makes it entirely too easy for corporations to get around the protections that are in place for endangered species and the environment as a whole.

Please cancel this bill and do not proceed with overriding the protections that our existing legislation affords our environmental concerns. We need to look after not only the present, but the future too.
The proposed changes to Ontario's Endangered Species Act would do nothing more than legitimize Ontario's already dismal track record of failing to protect endangered species.

Endangered species act … The proposal states it is to save time and money. For whom? We have a system in place that has worked. Our generation baby boomers have spent our lives respecting and working towards protecting lands and their inhabitants.

Please, do not pass this bill as it limits protections to the environment and any species that would be affected by changes to this bill.
I oppose this.

This was extremely extremely difficult to locate comment on. I really think that this government is trying to be sneaky and pass this through.

Eliminating protections in Ontario for wildlife species at risk of extinction is not acceptable! Please reconsider this decision, for our eco system and future generations.

I strongly oppose the entirety of "Proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007 and a proposal for the Species Conservation Act, 2025". I am an Ecologist in Ontario and have expertise in Ontario's Species at Risk, including assessing project impacts on Species at Risk.

This bill should not be allowed. Our wildlife needs protection now more than ever with many species on the verge of extinction. Shame on the Ontario government for proposing such a careless, irresponsible bill.
We need stronger protections for wildlife and our environment, not weaker ones.

This is an appalling abuse of power. The legacy will be disrupted ecosystems, worsening climate change and impacts to the source of drinking water for millions of Ontarians.

I strongly oppose Ontario’s Bill 5. Repealing the Endangered Species Act is a reckless move that puts vulnerable species and ecosystems at risk for the sake of short-term economic gains.

This change worries me. It ultimately puts economic growth and development above preserving our slowly diminishing habitats and species. Being able to fast track development before obtaining permits sounds like there is lots of room for development companies to 'make mistakes' and brake rules.

As a citizen of Ontario, a mother of a young child, and a nature lover, I have the proposed elimination of the Endangered Species Act (replacing with the Species Conservation Act - a deceptively positive change of name, given the content of the proposed changes).
