The Ontario Endangered Species Act (ESA) is crucial for protecting and recovering species at risk of extinction in the province. Here's why the ESA is important:
Protecting Species at Risk
Promoting Biodiversity
Ensuring Ecosystem Health
Promoting Stewardship and Recovery

In these days of climate change lessening the protections that the species at risk have in the cause of being 'open for business' is ridiculous.
Protecting our natural areas is important. Once they're gone we are down to manicured green-spaces, concrete jungles and cash crop farms.

To Whom it May Concern
I have concerns regarding the Proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act of 2007 and the proposal for the Species Conservation Act 2025. Please see below for my thoughts:

I oppose bill 5
I want strong environmental protections for endangered species.
I oppose shortcuts for industry with no public oversight.
I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.

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.

This is not acceptable! No economic development shall be done without ensuring environment protection, and especially protection of endangered species and their habitat. Is the Ontario government trying to to get as low as the government of our southern neighbors? Shameful to even consider that!
This will infringe on indigenous communities. And this law will allow you to not notify the public which should be illegal in any forum of government. You should be legally required to tell us if you are destroying protected lands.

I strongly oppose this proposed legislation. The government should NOT be offering shortcuts for industry at the expense of critical, sensitive environments and animal populations. We need to protect our province’s biodiversity, not forsake it so that developers and their friends can get richer.

I oppose Bill 5 because it weakens Ontario’s commitment to protecting endangered species and their habitats. Environmental protection must not be sacrificed for short-term industrial convenience.

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 disagree but agree with it. We need to develop better and speed processes up however we require to do it in a way that does not cut red tape and not include the People. It is an goodish idea but needs rework. I am 16.
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. A healthy, biodiverse environment is one that will support all Ontarians prosper.
I oppose Bill 5.
I want strong environmental protections.
I oppose short cuts for industry with no public oversite.
I oppose overing the law in special economic zones.

As a 21-year-old who has called Ontario home my entire life, I call on the Ford government to withdraw support for Bill 5. These amendments to our existing laws - laws which exist to protect the environment - would set back Ontario’s conservation efforts by decades.
