I oppose bill-5 I want stronger environmental protections and the protections of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.

Making changes to an act that protects species that cannot protect themselves is the opposite of progress. The act protects species that are native and important to the identity of Ontario, and Canada as a whole.

Alongside many members of the public and organizations, I am opposed to these changes. There are no procedural requirements or transparency requirements, which demonstrates concerning implications for how these powers will be permitted to be used.

As a resident of Ontario, I am STRONGLY opposed to the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act. Although increasing housing developments is an important issue, there are responsible ways to go about this WITHOUT putting more strain upon our wildlife and our ecosystem.

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.

Bill 5 is extremely harmful and will remove almost all provincial regulation on development- including fundamental consultation with Indigenous groups.
• Repeal the Endangered Species Act, leaving vulnerable species with almost no protection.

I am completely against this bill (Bill 5), the ecosystems in Ontario are extremely important and serve as habitats to endangered species, carbon sinks and are the heart of our beautiful province.

The proposed changes to Ontario's ESA would most certainly cause significant detrimental impacts to species at risk in Ontario that play vital roles within their ecosystems.

I am profoundly against this change as I feel it will only open the door for those with money to do as they please with total disregard for the environment and surrounding communities. This bill will allow the damage to commence before any community input or thorough reviews completed.

Please do not remove measures to ensure the protection and conservation of animals for the sake of increasing and accelerating suburban sprawl.
