The existing habitat definition and protections of the Endangered Species Act should be retained. They provide a clear approach to conserving Ontario’s most at-risk birds, and any issues of delays or lack of clarity can be dealt with through improvements in process.
Dear Sir or Madame,
I am deeply concerned about the proposed changes to Ontario’s Endangered Species Act. These changes likely pose a significant threat to the protection and recovery of vulnerable species in our province.

I am against the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007 and the proposal for the Species Conservation Act, 2025. As a conservation professional and lifelong nature lover, these changes would threaten Ontario's biodiversity.

I do not support these changes. If we do not protect our endangered species then biodiversity will be impacted. It is well documented that threats to biodiversity are also threats to our economy. I believe this bill will harm the environment and the economy in the long run.
As a member of our municipality's Environmental Advisory Committee and our local Bird Friendly City team I am very concerned about the replacement of the Endangered Species Act with a watered-down Species Conservation Act.

For too long Doug Ford and his elitist pals have run amok with zoning regulations; their irresponsibility with environmental matters will impact generations of Ontarians in the future.
Bill 5, if enacted, would allow the provincial government to fully ignore any municipal and provincial laws.

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.

Moose Cree recognizes your government’s interest in “cutting red tape” to accelerate mining and infrastructure projects in response to President Trump’s tariffs and threats against Canada’s economy—however, development cannot occur in Moose Cree’s Homeland without our consent.

We at the Canadian Chestnut Council, recognize that expeditious economic development in Ontario is critical. However, we also believe it can be achieved while minimizing the cost to Ontario’s at-risk tree species – specifically the American chestnut.

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.
