I am opposed to this propsed legislation. Protection of species is of utmost importance for biodiversity, and the nature Ontario is famous for--and which attracts lucrative tourism. Protected biodiversity also improves crops--which are important for our economy. Read more

The proposed interim changes and the proposal for the new act is abhorrent. The changes put over 230 plants and animals at risk, and will ruin their habitats, including precious wetlands. This destruction is in the name of 'progress', but progress for whom? Read more

I live in Toronto and this act saddens me. Obtaining permits to work in zones with protected species or environment SHOULD be difficult and should take time and careful consideration. We cannot get back the nature we lose. Read more

I oppose bill 5. I want stronger environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.

I oppose Bill 5 and want stronger regulations on endangered species and environmental law. This is very anti-Indigenous and undermines being a good treaty person. What the actual heck, Doug.

I oppose this bill and the general underhandedness of this government trying to bypass essential environmental protections. Protect the people and the environment, not your business buddies!

I recognize the urgent need for housing development in Ontario, and at the same time, vehemently oppose the changes to this species act. I foresee huge damage to our ecosystems for which Canadians are proud to protect. Read more

What Doug Ford is trying to accomplish is egregious to say the least. We need to protect these lands at all costs. We do not need to add to his version of a concrete paradise.

I oppose Bill 5 and the danger it poses to the environment in Ontario. I do not believe industry should get special permissions. Our environmental regulations are in place for a reason. If you prioritize industry and the market the environment will always suffer. Read more

Please do not make your planned changes to the endangered species act. There are enough places to build in Ontario without destroying these highly vulnerable species. If they become extinct there will be ripple effects throughout our environment. Read more
