I am opposing bill-5. The Premier should not be able to over rule municipal, indigenous and environmental laws to push forward private developer contracts. This is not in the best interest of Ontario’s people.
I am commenting as a concerned citizen. I am an environmental consultant and trained biologist who regularly works with developers to assist them in Endangered Species Act (ESA) compliance. I am acquainted with the process of how the ESA is administered and also the needs of developers.

the process to obtain a permit is slow and complex. This allows the time necessary to do proper research to insure that we aren't prioritizing short term solutions over long term sustainability
I’m strongly against any changes to the Endangered Species Act. We are in a climate emergency and Ontario biodiversity needs MORE protection, not less.
I have been birding for over 30 years and am very concerned about the decline in numbers of various species; aerial insectivores, grassland birds,, neotropical migrants, to name a few groups. I noticed that the Ford Government is planning to spend almost $40,000,000 to revitalize Wasaga Beach.

I am writing to express my unequivocal opposition to Bill 5 and the dangerous changes it proposes to Ontario’s Endangered Species Act. This legislation paves the way for widespread destruction of critical habitats that countless vulnerable species depend on for survival.

Endangered species are not vanishing by accident but by policy. Policy cannot continue to favour industry over ecosystems. Biodiversity loss threatens food security, water access and climate stability. Do better.

The proposal to repeal and replace the Endangered Species Act with the new Species Conservation Act is a compromise I don’t want Ontario to make.
Following regulations does take time; but protecting wildlife is more than just red tape.
Specific concerns:

We are killing our planet - through greed and ignorance. By not protecting our endangered species we are allowing profits to dictate what we care about.

Please don't reduce protections for endangered species - environmental conservation is an important objective even at the cost of economic development.
At this day and age, where we have scientific evidence of how important it is to protect the environment, we have to do everything we can do to protect it and nurture it.
I'm writing in response to several articles I've read recently about Bill 5, the government's proposed alteration (one might say gutting) of our Endangered Species Act.

I am deeply concerned by the proposal to allow the Government of Ontario to add and remove species from the list of species protected under the future Species Conservation Act.
