Please consider human AND nature!! Birds will decimate but Lao human’s mental, emotional and spiritual health will suffer! We need to be the good in the world and actually care about things, not just money. Please
Rather than significantly weakening protections for species at risk, your government should be safeguarding biodiversity, respecting Indigenous rights and ensuring local communities benefit from the ecosystem services that nature freely provides.
While it is unfortunate for some that environmental law causes delays in business and development, the fact is that those laws exist to ensure that biodiversity and environment, which is not economically profitable to big business and government, is given precedence over short term, typically privat

I am asking, pleading with you to reconsider the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act.
This is an ill thought out plan in the name of economic progress.
Leave the protections in place for our endangered species for the benefit of today’s population and future populations to come.

This change has me incredibly concerned. Specifically, the reduction in environmental requirements and duty to endangered species means that we will see further degradations of critical ecosystems that make up the ecology of Ontario.

This proposal is shortsighted and foolish. We need our forests, wetlands and wild places to mitigate the effects of climate change and related flooding, and to provide habitat for the species we share this province with.

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

The proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act and proposed Species Conservation Act show very little concern for the actual conservation of species, and instead demonstrate a bias towards economic development.

I am not in support. Ensuring endangered species and eco-systems thrive is critical in ensuring a sustainable earth and a community that can be enjoyed by all.

I do not consent to this bill! It is not in the best interest of the people and the environment. The people have not been adequately consulted and this bill cannot be allow to pass.
I oppose bill 5. I want stronger environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry. I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.
If it can't be done sustainably, it's not worth it. We need to protect what makes this country great.

This new legislation will not adequately protect at risk species in Ontario, because it does not adequately protect their habitats. Habitat destruction is a leading cause if species decline and extirpations/extinctions globally.

I am strongly opposed to this proposal. It fundamentally destroys existing species protection regulations and ignores science on conservation.

Please reconsider this short-sighted, non-scientific, detrimental act. The future of our children and grandchildren is in your hands, and it is your responsibility to make sure that the legacy we leave is one of respect for all living things.
Did I read this right?

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.

I'm very concerned and DO NOT support BILL 5 - Species Conservation Act 2025. We have a responsibility as citizens of Ontario to speak up and be a defense against further attacks on our already fragile eco systems (wetlands) and to protect our biodiversity.
