This proposal would do great harm to endangered and all species. This will affect our biodiversity and our health and wellbeing. This is because of the proposal will:

this is one of those proposals that I know, should it be approved, will go down in history.

The current act causes delays in building for a very good reason: thorough analysis of any potential. Gutting and getting rid of these time delays will allow short-term gratification of more buildings, but no one wants to live in a wasteland.

I am writing to express my unequivocal opposition to Bill 5 - the Protect Ontario by
Unleashing Our Economy Act, 2025 (ERO #025-0416). If passed, this legislation will not
