Homes can be placed elsewhere. Once we tear up this land that's it. This bill goes through now, 2 years from now after they have done a bunch of damage another bill will come forward to take away more protections.
We can prosper without damaging what makes Ontario special.

Animals have just as much of a right to their homes as we do to ours. There are many alternatives to housing than to infringe on the land of innocent animals, especially ones that need protection. Please do not allow for this bill to pass.
I am greatly opposed to Bill 5. As an undergraduate student in the department of Science at McMaster university, I have taken many courses that have encouraged a deeper understanding and appreciation of our environment.

I oppose the proposed changes to Ontario’s Endangered Species Act (ESA), which prioritize short-term economic development at the expense of biodiversity, scientific integrity, and long-term environmental health.

Nature is the one things that connects us all as Canadians. Even those who prefer not to explore the wilderness or can appreciate the wonder of plants, animals and environment. This bill hurts more than the habitats for these creatures we all love, it hurts us all.

We need more environmental protections not less. This bill will not go unnoticed. We are actively spreading the word. Please do a full environmental impact of this.
Thank you,
Concerned citizens of Ontario

I am writing this to 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 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 bill 5. I want stronger regulation for developers not less - there shouldn't be shortcuts that have major implications on the physical environment. I want protection of endangered species.
This bill is unconstitutional and would undo any work that has been done to protect endangered species in Ontario and broader Canada. It is an affront to municipal, provincial, federal, and indigenous laws that are in place to protect the environment and wildlife.

I oppose Bill 5, we needed strong environmental protections, especially for endangered species.
I also oppose shortcuts for industry, and overriding the law in special zones.

I oppose this act. We need to prioritize protecting the environment at all costs. We won’t have anywhere to live if we keep destroying eco systems and increasing the risk of endangered species. Find a different way to accomplish your goal - this isn’t the right approach to take.
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. As an indigenous person I vote against this bill.
I strongly oppose this bill.
(1) The government is not knowledgable enough to decide which species should and should not be considered endangered. I oppose government having this power as it undermines the experts who actually know anything about complex ecosystems.
