NO to Bill 5.

Please can we please not go backwards with nature this unbelievably short sighted and irresponsible and cruel and it breaks my heart that this is even a matter of discussion.

I am shocked that Doug Ford is attempting to push through Bill 5 while he thinks Ontario voters are too distracted with other news worldwide. WE ARE NOT TOO DISTRACTED TO NOTICE! We absolutely cannot sell out our endangered species for commercial gain.

PLEASE stop Bill 5!!!!! People have taken years to rebuild habitats and protect endangered species. Bill 5 will be reversing so much hard work and efforts that have already gone to protecting our environment and wildlife.

Please stop this proposal. This is not in benefit of nature or the people of Ontario. This is made only to enrich the pockets of already wealthy individuals.
When is it going to be enough? When are we going to start caring for the environment?

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.
THIS BILL IS A THREAT TO OUR ENTIRE PROVINCE ALL LIVING SPECIES WITHIN IT! I SAY NO TO BILL 5 THERE IS NO WAY THIS CAN BE PASSED THIS IS A SHORT SIGHTED DANGEROUS AND CRIMINAL BILL!
I am writing as a concerned Ontario resident who values our provinces biodiversity. Bill 5 threatens to weaken protections for species at risk and their habitats – protections that have been established through decades of scientific research and conservation efforts.

The changes to the Endangered Species Act and proposal for the Species Conservation Act are disturbing. Wildlife in Ontario is extremely valuable. Ontario attracts the most nature-based tourists than any other province in Canada.

As a Canadian citizen, I strongly oppose bill 5. We need stronger environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I believe that this bill undermines our democratic rights.
I oppose Bill 5.
