I strongly oppose Bill 5! Ontario needs stronger environmental protection laws to protect endangered species, our forests, and water systems. Industries should not be allowed shortcuts like this! Read more

I strongly oppose Bill 5. I want Ontario to maintain strong protections for endangered and at-risk species. I oppose the proposed short cuts for industry; we need to maintain strong public oversight. I oppose overriding the law for special economic zones. Read more

I believe the Endangered species act is sacred and should he left alone. Nature is deserving of our utmost respect and protection. There is nothing more important to our quality of life than the gifts that nature provides and the natural areas of Ontario are in grave need of protection. Read more

This bill is absurd. The environment must be protected from human activity. We are destroying the Earth. Allowing politicians a carte blanche to ignore environmental laws in favour of "economic activity" is a recipe for disaster.

Hello, As an Ontarian, this bill is an absolute strike against its people and the land. It is an abhorrid to think that a person elected by the people would against, not only the current generations, but future generations to come. Read more

I am vehemently against Bill 5 to create special shortcuts detrimental to environmental protections. I want our government to pursue economic growth while protecting our natural environment and honouring indigenous rights. Read more

I oppose Bill 5. We need stronger environmental protections - not just for wildlife, but for people. Natural spaces keep us grounded and connected, especially in urban areas. Repealing the Endangered Species Act and creating fast-track zones that bypass oversight is short-sighted. Read more

I am currently in grade 12, and I am appalled at the Ontario government’s environmental actions. First it was the greenbelt, now it’s this. I don’t care if it’s making you money Doug Ford, you do not get to sell our province. I used to be proud to live in Ontario, now I’m just scared. Read more

It seems like the ministry of the environment, CONSERVATION, and parks, doesn't want to do much conserving. Environmental protections are vitally important and species at risk are at risk because of human interference in their habitats. Read more

Interesting how the government can just do whatever they want. I bet if they lived here they would vote against it! This bill needs to be stopped. No one should be allowed to change an environmental assessment if it was already put in place!

We must protect our endangered species even if that means delays and boundaries. They are innocent beings that deserve a safe home just as much as one of us. This is a dangerous plan that will no doubt lead to wanton destruction of habitats and potentially species, that call this land home too. Read more

If we allow these changes to go forward we could potentially lose a lot of eco systems that are crucial to our environment. Just because an animal looks insignificant doesn't mean it's not important to the area its living in. Read more
