I strongly oppose Bill 5. This legislation threatens Ontario’s wetlands, greenspaces, and environmental protections at a time when we need stronger, not weaker, safeguards. It prioritizes unsustainable development over the long-term health of our ecosystems and communities.

I believe that Ontario needs to protect its wildlife and the habitat it needs to flourish. I expect that from our premier and his team. Please keep your hands off the Endangered Species Act.

I 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.
The removal of the requirement for a permit is completely unacceptable here, as enforcement after the fact is all but guaranteed to never take place.

I oppose the proposed changes which seem shortsightedly focused on profit over all. I wish to confirm my support for the Endangered Species Act in its current form.
I am strongly opposed to the proposal to repeal the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and replace it with the Species Conservation Act (SCA). I'm also strongly opposed to the immediate amendments to the ESA.

Hello,
A few questions about Bill 5:
- How are “important economic zones” approved for the bypasses/“simplified” requirements? Why isn’t there a more clear outline of the criteria available to the public?
- Who will be consulted on approving any “important economic zones”?

I strongly oppose bill 5, endangered species have protections for a reason. I am an Ontario voter who strongly believes this will be detrimental to our province.
I oppose bill 5. I want stronger environmental protections.
I oppose shortcuts for industry with no public oversight.
I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones.

All wildlife needs greater protection not less! The amount of cruelty and disrespect shown to wildlife is unacceptable. Please do not encourage or add to this by cancelling or reducing the Endangered Species Act.

Well, this mining project will happen if the government wants it to happen and it looks like we are left to hoping and praying that there are some good politicians still left out there.

It’s disgusting that this would even be considered. We need nature to thrive yet humans destroy it more and more everyday. This will be our demise. All because of money. You can’t eat without protected lands. We need our wildlife and pollinators and their environments for us to thrive.

I am in opposition to the proposed Species Conservation Act (CSA), which would repeal and replace Ontario’s Endangered Species Act. This proposal represents a significant weakening of protections for Ontario’s most vulnerable species and ecosystems.

The protection of endangered species is vital and the provincial government’s proposed legislation will remove essential protections. I am opposed to this legislation. We must be good caretakers of the environment in which we live.
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.
Stop putting commercial greed ahead of our environment and endangered species.
I OPPOSE BILL 5.

The fact that the government is looking to remove species and habitat protection to benefit developers without scientific input is absurd. Who has determined the registration process will be effective in protecting species? Who has determined habitat definitions can be shrunk?

Please reconsider this bill 5 and all the sections that may inadvertently harm wildlife and biodiversity, and particularly Species at Risk and those that are already endangered.
