Bypassing the Endangered Species Act is not something that should be allowed. This Act was created for a very important reason: TO PROTECT OUR SPECIES at RISK. If you bypass it or remove it you are stating CLEARLY that you do not care for our species at risk, nor our environment. Read more

I cannot believe that the protecting of endangered species in Ontario is not important anymore to our Premier, our province, our Country. What is happening? These species, animals, birds, frogs, deer, butterflies, bees, fish should be protected. Please do not pass Bill 5

I am strongly against this butchering of the Endangered Species Act. You might be trying to fast-track mining and infrastructure development but this includes ecologically sensitive and contested areas. Read more
