After reading this proposed act, I conclude that it loosens much protection for our endangered species and allows more for the opportunity to harm the environment which they depend on. Read more

I oppose Bill 5. We need the Endangered Species Act, we need wild life to be protected. We need to put the health of our environment over the interests of Doug Ford’s corrupt deals with developers.

I oppose Bill 5. We should have strong strong environmental protections and not sort cuts for the industry where the government can override laws without public insight. Our natural environment is what Ontario beautiful and without it, we have nothing else.

While I understand Doug Ford's frustration with the boundaries regarding environmental impact preventing him from being able to move ahead with the proposed Highway 413 that may improve private transit for the cities & communities to the immediate northwest of Toronto, I have some concerns.

As a citizen of Ontario, I do not support this law. This gives too much power to the provincial government that can circumvent First Nations' rights and treaties in Ontario. It also takes away powers to protect endangered and at-risk species and important habitats and ecosystems.

This Bill which allows for Special Economic Zones that can be fast tracked for development in protected areas, and take precedence over environmental concerns and endangered species protections is short sighted and ill conceived. Read more

I catagorically oppose Bill 5. We need strong environmental protections. Fast tracking industry without public oversight is a crime against the land and the people. Stop this now!

This bill needs to be scraped.It will destroy First Nations Communities. It will lead to the further destruction of Ontario environment. We are supposed to be protecting the environment for the future not line the pockets of the rich. Shame on the Ford Government... shame. Read more

Bill 5 is an irresponsible, shortsighted, and dangerous proposal that would seriously compromise the health of Ontario's wildlife and natural spaces. We can't afford to pave over nature for the fleeting prospect of economic gain that future generations will never see. Read more

I strongly appose this bill. Not only does it increase threat to environmental protetions, it also increases the risk of political interference with ministers being able to cancel regulations at their decision without oversight or accountability.
