I oppose this bill. We need to protect nature, not dismantle it.
There are other ways to deal with housing and honestly this isn’t it. If only we started building 7 years ago. Build up not out and keep nature a top priority.

Thank you for the opportunity to express my views on Bill 5 and the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA). I write as a concerned citizen and rural landowner.
Introduction:

As someone who believes in our world, or at least our country having a full and glorious future, I recognize how important the ESA is.
We as a people have intelligence to think on what we are doing, and have hands to help those around us. Animals are absolutely included in that.

The ecosystems of Ontario must be protected to the most rigorous standard. Our local fauna and flora are unquantifiable treasures, and there is no number or convenience that justifies diminishing them.
Under absolutely no circumstance do I endorse abolishing the Endangered Species Act, 2007 (ESA), and I am deeply offended by the misleading language in this proposal and the implication developers should be allowed to voluntarily decide which actions would harm endangered species and how much they s

I'm trying to find the right words to express my utter disdain and rage for this governments continued attempts to drag this province back into the stone age.

I whole heartedly object to this proposal. These proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act and Species Conservation Act will be catastrophic for plant and animal communities which are essential for the livelihood and wellbeing of human communities.

It is in the best interests of the current and future species covered by these Acts that these changes not take place.
The Ford government, nor any future government, cannot be trusted with this kind of power.

Ontario is not for sale! Do not short-sightedly give away protection for endangered species and spaces for more construction, highways, shopping malls and expensive housing developments.

we are on this earth as stewards---the land and its non human inhabitants are not here for us to profit from---resources are finite---compassion can be infinite
These proposed changes to Ontario’s species at risk legislation would seriously undermine the protection currently afforded by the act to species that we are at risk of losing. It prioritizes economic development over scientific oversight and habitat protection.

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.

I am an elder living in East York. I strongly oppose Bill five, which has the misleading title, protect Ontario by unleashing our economy act. I urge you to repeal it now.

This is a ridiculous proposal. I understand wanting to eliminate redundancies between federal and provIncial policies, but this act is so important for species at risk. The proposed changes have a much smaller scope and would not adequately protect vulnerable species.

I object to Bill 5 and its changes. I believe that there needs to be more government oversight over these matters as these limited species will be impacted more by any damage done to them and their habitat than to us.
