I strongly 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. Ontario needs to protect its natural land and inhabitants and this bill doesn't fall in line

Using the excuse that current approach to the protection and conservation of species at risk is complicated, takes too long to complete, and causes unnecessary delays and costs for housing, transit, and critical infrastructure is shameful. Read more

I want strong environmental protections! I oppose bill 5. Also I oppose shortcutting industry with no public oversight and I oppose overwriting the law in economic zones. I believe that bill 5 will do nothing but harm the environment and thus the rest of the people of Ontario. Read more

This bill is simply a gutting of the Endangered species act, it is irresponsible, and seeks only short term economic benefits and would degrade ecological services made by a diverse community on which the current and future Ontario population relies. Read more

I’m a registered voter in Ontario and I am against Bill 5. We do not need to fast track construction. We need more environmental impact due diligence. This Bill sounds like Doug Ford is just continuing to try and help the developers get richer and richer. We need to protect our green areas. Read more
