This is not how the economy works. As a student who just finished a 4th year in environmental studies along with taking economics courses throughout my academic career.

I oppose bill 5.
We need strong environmental protection.
We don't need shortcuts for industry.
Protecting the environment is so much more important than fast tracking permits.

I oppose Bill 5. I don't believe that special economic zones should be created to override or ignore environmental laws. I feel that the Endangered Species Act is important and should not be removed.
I strongly oppose Ontario’s Bill 5 — a dangerous and short-sighted piece of legislation that threatens our environment, our communities, and the future of this province.

I strongly oppose bill 5.
I want stronger environmental protection.
We do not need stronger economic zones, Ontario is a strong hub as it is. We do not need to fast track industrial projects, ESPECIALLY WITHOUT PUBLIC OVERSIGHT. Industry’s do not need shortcuts.

Terrible bill, cannot support allowing environmental destruction and forcing through polluting projects in communities that do not want them. Emailing everyone I know to come read and comment on this bill, it's just awful.
We are in a global biodiversity crisis. In Ontario alone, more than 230 plants and animals are at risk. The healthy forests, waters and wetlands species at risk rely on sustain all Ontarians.
I urge the government to:

I do not stand for this bill being pushed and how it will impact our province. Our Premier appears to be acting in his own best interest and not in the interest of our province.
You were not given a mandate to push through the lands of indigenous people nor the lands of animals. This is a grab that does not protect species or future generations. There is no oversight and there is no environmental protections for our water to keep it safe.

I oppose government overreach, and further endangering, endangered species! Do we not think of the future civilization? Instead of corporate interests listen to the people, please. And go back to the drawing board governments are meant to speak for the people and again not corporate interests.

As an Ontario resident actively engaged in conservation of endangered species, I completely and strongly oppose this bill. I do not feel the changes proposed are justified, and the protection of species at risk and their habitats must be a priority.

Dear Mr. Ford and members of the Legislative Assembly,
Like many others, 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 strongly oppose this bill. It is reckless and inconsiderate towards the health of our ecosystems as well as indigenous rights and the general publics health as well.

I oppose Bill 5. I want strong environmental protections. I oppose shortcuts for industry with no public oversight. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.
I am writing to express my strong opposition to the recent changes proposed to the Ontario Endangered Species Act.
These amendments threaten the very foundation of our province's biodiversity and the protection of vulnerable species that rely on this legislation for their survival.

The protection of wildlife and vegetation in our natural world is so important. Destruction of nature is reckless and unhealthy to the planet; causing environmental harm so that a select few will benefit financially is short-sighted and selfish.

I fully support STRONG environmental protection as a priority and I oppose any shortcuts that would benefit industry but compromise environmental considerations.
