Moving forward with this decision would not only be irresponsible, but it’s not democratic. This is NOT what Ontario wants or needs. Speeding up development at the risk of our ecologically significant creatures is not necessary.

I do not support this, we should be caring for our endangered species, not trying to find ways around it. Protect them, they are endangered for a reason.
I oppose the proposed changes.
Plenty of land exists in Ontario which needs to be rehabilitated - eye sores are everywhere. Towns have derelict properties which can be developed. Furthermore, density of development will call for better public transit in small to mid-sized communities.

I am writing to express my profound concern regarding the potential implementation of Bill 5. If enacted, I believe it would have severely detrimental effects on our native flora and fauna.

I oppose bill 5. I want stronger environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose any defacing of nature that is currently protected. I oppose shortcuts for industry. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.
Ontarians do not support this bill! We want to protect our environment and take the proper processes to be sure we are developing properly, respecting the environment, the indigenous communities and our future. Development needs to be handled with care, not fast tracked.

As a long term resident of Ontario, I say no to bill 5. Our environmental protections are more important now than ever. We need thorough public and subject matter expert consultation on major build projects. Our environment provided safety and security beyond short term gains.

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.

Endangered Species Act repealed and replaced with Species Conservation Act, 2025; Will Harm already endangered wildlife that our biodiversity directly relies on, giving developers an easy path to harm vulnerable wildlife without strong oversight or science-based decision-making.

Doug Ford is pushing to violate the rights of Canadians who care about the environment of our country, to the benefit of his developer friends. This change needs to be investigated by the Ombudsman for corruption.
