I am very against this bill. Our actions are everlasting not just 4 years a politician is in office or short lived jobs. there are other species in this world besides humans. To think that it’s ok to eradicate any species on this earth is not ok. It’s narcissist and your not thinking to the future.

I am writing to strongly oppose Bill5: 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.

Careful consideration for species at risk is not an "unnecessary delay." The preservation of our wildlife and wild spaces is essential to the wellbeing of all Ontarians, and is integral to founding appropriate, healthy, and prosperous living spaces (communities and housing).

The endangered species system is set up for a reason, to help decrease the effects that human activity has on vulnerable populations of animals.

Proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act, including its planned repeal and replacement, reveal a lack of understanding and lack of attention to the health and well-being of Ontarians.

Bill 5 must be withdrawn as it weakens the protection of species. The government will be less equipped to protect vulnerable species, as the bill weakens habitat definitions and disregards both the ethical and practical responsibilities we hold to safeguard biodiversity.

This is absolutely terrible. Shame on you Doug Ford. I do not support this. We need to protect our wildlife and our species. Absolutely devastated by Fords idea here.
I oppose Bill 5.
I want strong environmental protections.
I oppose shortcuts for industry.
I want stronger protections for endangered species.
I oppose shortcuts for industry with no public oversight.
I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.

This proposal would cause irreparable damage to ecosystems and crucial habitats that could not be replaced. It does not account for the actual way that flora and fauna function and therefore beyond inadequate. Please do not go through with this.
Construction is great. New infrastructure and employment are awesome. There is NO REASON why these things can’t happen RESPONSIBLY. Anyone who tells you otherwise, is selling something.

The Endangered Species Act is very important to protect vulnerable species. I do not agree with these changes and do not agree with bill 5 as it will directly harm these species that are already at risk.
As an Ontarian and Canadian Citizen, I am strongly opposed to the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA), in particular the amendments in the Interim Period Changes of the Protect Ontario By Unleashing Our Economy Act, 2025.
