This is a disgusting overreach of government power. We are in a climate crisis and this proposes nothing but national and global harm particularly for those most vulnerable and poor under our global power structure. Disgusting and driven by greed and power-lust. SHAME!

Hello, I think there is a big concern with these ammendments being proposed. There is a big chance that changing environmental protection rules and steps for permit will negatively affect every Ontarian in the long run. Read more

As an Ontario resident, I am strongly opposed to this proposal. I think it's frankly disgusting that the provincial government would try yo sneak this through while voters were distracted by the federal election, but how typical of the Tories to do so.

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 vehemently oppose bill 5, as do all others in my social circle. I want the government to increase protections for endangered species, regardless of how “profitable” that land is. Decreasing protections and making exceptions to the law in the name of profit is greedy and unjust.

Hello, I’m an environmental conservation worker and parent who will soon be going back to school for a graduate degree in plant ecology. I care deeply about the protection of species-at-risk, including woodland caribou, American ginseng, and eastern meadowlark. Read more

I oppose this bill. This province needs stronger environmental regulations. I disagree with repealing the endangered species act. Stop providing industry short cuts at the expense of our environment. Read more

I vote no!!!! We NEED to protect the environment at all costs!!! The earth is our only home. We shouldn’t have any mindset that doesn’t respect our planet. We should NOT believe it is okay to take what we want and we should NEVER give anyone permission to destroy what is protected. No to this bill. Read more

I 100% disagree with this proposal. We must protect our land and species. We should be able to build homes and protect our wildlife. Please don’t ruin the province for our children. Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 5, the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act. This legislation poses a serious threat to Ontario’s natural heritage, democratic processes and Indigenous rights. Read more
