I work as a Planner for the municipality of Mississippi Mills, and I oppose this bill. In my work I can see first hand how important it is to protect the environment and ensure that developers are respecting other nature, otherwise it can all be destroyed for the sake of a few homes. Read more

Very worried by this proposal. In the time of climate change and endangered species, including plants, we need to ensure that land is thoroughly inspected before developers destroy the habitat. Read more

This law will gut any measures of due process in protecting the environment. This will have a huge negative impact on endangered species and this goes against our collective greater interests. Young people deserve to have a world where they can enjoy the fruits of tomorrow. Read more

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.

We need to continue protecting the habitats of both animals and plants that are unique to Ontario, as well as those plants and animals that live in Ontario but are not rare. That involves protecting habitats that are more than just their dwelling place or their hunting grounds. Read more

This bill seems to be based on the premise that quicker is better. I don’t believe this is always (or even often) the case. Especially when it comes to protecting our natural environment. Read more

No, we do not want govt projects fast tracked without public oversight. No, we don't want to build infrastructure at the risk of endangering species on this earth. You need to figure out a way to innovate WHILE living in balance and harmony with the world around us. Read more

I vehemently oppose Bill 5. Our environmental protections and protection of endangered species need to be MORE protected, not circumvented. I oppose shortcuts for industry and will cause irreparable damage to Ontario. And I oppose overriding the law for personal gain in special economic zones. Read more
