This is a terrible proposal. Allowing people to begin activities on the assumption of approval is, at best, naive and open to accidental violations and, at worst, an avenue to violate the rules with little to no oversight.
Bill 5 represents a death sentence for our ecosystems as well as ourselves.
It also happens to be irrevocably short-sighted from a financial point of view as it fails to take into account the cost that climate change acceleration and major weather events will have on Ontario and Canada.

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.
As an Ontario resident, I am in favour of strong environmental protections and do not want them overridden for the benefit of developers. I do not support this bill and do not believe that it is in the best interest of myself and my community.

I oppose this bill. We need stronger protections for endangered species, not less! I do not agree with sidestepping proper processes in order to bypass laws so someone can build something industrial and risk animals and their habitats.

I oppose bill 5! We are in a critical time for the other species who share this planet. We must have more protections, not less, for all species and especially those who are endangered.
Ontarians have not asked for weaker protections or less say in decisions that affect the province’s land, water and future. Bill 5 would silence community voices, marginalize science and erase decades of hard-won environmental progress.

This is an egregious overstep and major setback for protecting wildlife in Ontario. With these changes, one merely has to register online to put shovels in the ground.

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.

I oppose to this bill. Without enough consideration if we uproot protected species then we are disturbing nature for human benefits. Let's not cause more harm then intended. There is a lot of land in Canada that can be utilized for growth.
