This change doesn't sit right with me. We need to be protecting our environment at all costs, not allowing the government more power, especially over engaged species. Please don't allow this to pass!

I am writing to express my deep concern and disappointment regarding Bill 5. This bill is a complete violation of the rights of the very people who fund the government’s ability to function and carry out such decisions in the first place. Read more

I oppose bill 5. In a time where there needs to be greater environmental protections, Bill 5 will strip protections we have in place that have directly helped protect multiple endangered species. Bill 5 is a short cut and a cop out and it is fundamentally un-Canadian. Read more

I opose bill 5. - the bill does not limit the economic zones to northern Ontario, despite claiming to want to use it there. - there is no purpose clause in this bill - there is no process that needs to be followed before making those designations Read more

Since the provincial government has said it themselves, it is clear that the passing of Bill 5 will only serve to deregulate the system set out in the Endangered Species Act that Ontario has used for over a decade to help conserve and recover our native species. Read more

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. Read more

I am writing to express my deep concern and strong opposition to Bill 5, “Protecting Ontario by Unleashing the Economy Act.” This bill will cause direct harm to essential ecosystems, endangered species and critical waterways, while threatening Indigenous rights to free, informed and ongoing consent.

I have great concerns about these proposed changes. I believe this is a continued erosion of due process and a means of fast tracking and approving land for use that will have long term environmental effects. Read more
