I oppose bill 5
Endangered species need more protection, not less.
I oppose focusing on and fast tracking industry, especially with less public and transparent oversight

I firmly disagree with this proposed change to how endangered species are protected, particularly with the part about the list of endangered species being at the discretion of the government.

Hi there, I do not agree with the proposed changes put forth by Bill 5. The current applicable permits are in place for good reason - to prevent companies wantonly developing land they haven't properly surveyed for the ecological and environmental impacts of their builds.

I am very disappointed to see this bill being proposed and moving forward with so little media coverage. I hope that Ontario can move towards more sustainable policies in the future.

I oppose Bill 5 and its attempts to circumvent environmental regulations/protections. The government should not have the power to ignore laws, especially the ones put in place to protect the people and our environment. Stop selling off our natural lands and resources for profit. NO to Bill 5!!
Please don’t pass Bill 5.
Please reject it in its entirety.
Another Bill can be put together that doesn’t allow a total disregard for the survival or many species and the rights of many humans.
There are better ways to advance our economy and development.

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 am not okay with this. I want stronger environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry, especially at the cost of our environment. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones. This is not okay.
The approach to conservation of not just endangered, but all native species, should be complex & require ample unbiased & ethically obtained evidence that a project will have minimal or no impact on the area’s environment.

The Ontario Endangered Species Act (ESA) is crucial for protecting and recovering species at risk of extinction in the province. Here's why the ESA is important:
Protecting Species at Risk
Promoting Biodiversity
Ensuring Ecosystem Health
Promoting Stewardship and Recovery

I find this a poorly disguised way to gut the protection of endangered plants and animals. Like the greenbelt fiasco this leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Money is not the sole criteria for good decision making.
I do not support these changes.
I’m against giving cabinet the ability to override environmental legislation.
I’m against eliminating or reducing protections of endangered species.
I’m against silencing indigenous and public voices.
I do not support Bill 5.
