I told my 9 year old what the bill was about and even they knew that it’s a bad idea. Don’t let this bill pass. Selfish developers and politicians like Doug ford need to learn some lessons instead of trying to make loop holes for their own benefits.

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.

I’m saying NO to Bill 5.
We need more protections for the environment and different species that in habitat the earth.
Building in protected areas is not what we want as citizens of Ontario!
Businesses should never trump the protection of the environment!!

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 oppose bill 5. I want stronger environmental protections for endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for businesses. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones. We can keep important ecosystems intact and figure out a way to help industry.
No. Simple no. The process is there to allow a sober and dispassionate examination of all aspects of the project. It prevents a "pump and dump"which leaves the Ontario taxpayer holding the consequences bag
I do not want this.
No industrial or economic reason is worth skipping environmental assessment, skipping community consultation, or holding companies to labour, employment and human rights laws.

the Species Conservation Program is NOT sufficient!!
Please keep the Endangered Species Act!!
Hwy 413 is not needed. Building monster homes on our headwaters is criminal! It benefits a few at the expense of drinking water for millions.

I am strongly opposed to this proposal. Our species and wildlife are vital to our well being. Please be proactive in your consultation with indigenous communities, and consult with them BEFORE passing this bill.
The reduction of the species at risk protection legislation proposed by the government is saddening and dangerous. As an ecology PhD student I can see how the disregard of our ecosystems will cause not only irreparable ecological damage, but also an intense loss of ecosystem services.

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 am strongly opposed to this. In fact, I think that more should be done to protect endangered species. Smart planning does not mean building on protected lands. Our government should have learned this when the greenbelt changes were met with public fury. Build up, not out!
I strongly oppose this Bill. It’s disastrous to our environment, violates treaties, along with several other serious issues.
Please stop this bill!

I urge the Ontario government to reconsider Bill 5, which poses significant threats to our environment, Indigenous rights, and democratic processes. Repealing the Endangered Species Act and replacing it with weaker legislation undermines decades of conservation efforts.
