Altering environmental protections to favour faster turnarounds for development projects is ridiculous and will only encourage habitat destruction. The natural environment is complex and interdependent, time needs to be taken for assessments of habitats and the impact of proposed construction.

This bill is an environmental disaster in the making. It would repeal the Endangered Species Act, wiping out protections for vulnerable wildlife, and could effectively ban solar energy-shutting the door on clean power while forcing Ontario to rely on costly, polluting fracked gas.

The proposed changes to Ontario’s Endangered Species Act (ESA), as outlined in Environmental Registry Notice #019-7380, pose significant risks to the survival and recovery of species at risk (SAR) in Ontario and undermine the core purpose of the Act for the following reasons:

As a Canadian citizen and resident of Ontario I strongly oppose the proposed Bill 5. I believe the consequences of Bill 5 would be devastating for our precious ecosystems, the land and the animals that make Ontario unique.

As a citizen of Ontario my entire life, the last thing I want to see is the natural beauty of this province and the native species that call this place home endangered by short-sighted legislation that would only benefit the fewest wealthy buddies of the "Mayor of the Province" to develop cheaply ma

I am writing to strongly oppose Bill 5: the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act and its dangerous proposals, including the creation of Special Economic Zones, the weakening of Ontario’s endangered species protections, and the exemption of the Eagle’s Nest mine from an environmental review.

I am not ok with putting developers and profit first and destroying what little Green space and protected area for our protected species. I am vehemently against this bill.
This potential change in the endangered species act is a poor excuse for economic gain. The new proposals rule out any consideration for future acts of conservation and only look at how large corporations can gain a profit.

This is possibly the stupidest thing that can be done. You and your party obviously have no other concerns than to cash a cheque from every inch of this province. You and your party are contributing to the destruction of this earth.

I have been sleepless for weeks because of this bill. We should be strengthening environmental protections. If we continue to lose species and plant life humans will suffer.

This is an absolute embarrassment. We need to protect our ecosystems for our future and that of our children. We can build housing and infrastructure without contributing to the biodiversity crisis.

I do not agree to this, I do not agree with bill 5. The way to solve the housing crisis, is force people to lower rent and STOP PUTTING MONEY IN BILLIONAIRES POCKETS. It’s that simple
This is a very upsetting proposal. It is a step back for the province of Ontario. Our province is drastically declining in terms of protected areas and pretty soon there will be no protected areas if we keep this up!
