I oppose Bill 5. I want stronger environmental protection and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.

I do not support this bill. I want more protections for wildlife, not less. Industry should not be allowed to skip important parts of the process in protecting wildlife, as any mistakes can be irreversible. Read more

The act claims to retain all the responsibilities of COSSARO but then gives the government the power to override/ ignore their capacity to designate species at risk. Read more

I spend enough time in the woods and outdoors to understand that the proposed alternative to the use of the word 'habitat' (aka den or nest) is so vastly minimal it's laughable and shameful at the same time. No animal can survive on what a den/nest provides. Read more

This is an outrage. This completely undermines the democratic process in Ontario, offering sweeping, autocratic powers to the office of the premier who frankly cannot be trusted as he has already been caught up in a number of private interest scandals. Read more
