I vehemently oppose Bill 5. I want strong environmental protections, particularly for at risk species & to prevent more species becoming at risk. It is our responsibility to protect the environment & species within that we, as humans, have impacted so profoundly. Read more

There have been a lot of environmental damage caused by the Ontario government allowing builders to destroy crown land and especially environmentally sensitive land which are valuable for wildlife and endangered species, may it be wildlife or plant life. Read more

I am adamantly opposed to the creation of Special Economic Zones. Decreasing the protection Species at Risk have currently is ill advised and certainly not any kind of protection against possible tariffs. This is a race to the bottom and a disappointingly uninspired approach to development. Read more

I believe that Ontario’s current legislation for endangered species and conservation—such as the Endangered Species Act—was created to protect habitats, wildlife, insects, fish, birds, waterways, and natural landscapes. Read more

Reduced Protections: A registration-first system may result in less oversight and inadequate protection for vulnerable species. Government Discretion: Allowing the government to modify the protected species list raises concerns about political influence over scientific assessments. Read more

I am truly dismayed to see the Ontario government is undermining Treaty rights, yet again. I am just wondering what consultation this Bill has gone under with First Nations in Ontario? This Bill is a pitiful attempt to override International Law and Free and Prior Informed Consent. Read more

I oppose bill 5. I want Ontario to pass bills that strengthen environmental protection, not remove it. I want Ontario to provide stronger protection of endangered species. I opposed short cuts for industry with no public oversight. I opposed overriding the law in special economic zones.

This bill is outrageous! We are stewards of this land for all who live here, including the plants and animals. Ecosystems require care and consideration because they support life, including ours, and ensure sustainability. Read more

I oppose Bill 5. I am against short cuts to any industry projects that could impact the environment and our natural resources. I am against the government being able to fast track any project without public oversight. This feels like an intense grab of power.

I do not support Bill 5. It is important to me to have strong environmental protections not less protections. The permit process, while may “slow the process” ensures that irreversible harm is not done. We need to preserve our natural habitats and resources.

I oppose changes to the endangered species act. I’d like to see more protection for endangered species. I also don’t want to see business proposals pushed through without proper consultation. Big business shouldn’t be able bypass due process or buy there way around the system. Read more
