Ontario’s reputation as a region of natural beauty, and its ability to sustain a strong, sustainable tourism industry depends on a commitment from the Province to protect the natural environment.

I strongly oppose any effort to weaken or roll back Ontario’s Endangered Species Act under the justification that it “takes too long” to assess the environmental impact of development projects.

I strongly oppose 025-0380 as it is presented. While there are improvements to be made to the species at risk act the proposed changes are more than modifications; gutting important provisions in the current ESA.

With the way how fragile the environment is;The overconsumption and waste produced has increased so much. There is no need to pulverize more. There is also an issue with privatization. This will further separate the communities in Ontario by class. The rich or the poor.

The Ontario Regional Committee of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE Ontario) respectfully submits its formal comments on the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007 and the proposed Species Conservation Act, 2025, outlined in Schedule 10 of Bill 5—

I am a concerned Northern Ontarian and feel that this new act will devastatingly impact our species who require our help to recover rather than a blind eye to their needs...I dont feel the Ford government cares enough or values nature enough to protect it.

I am writing to register my objection to proposed Bill 5. The government positions it as a "time saver" for developers with the implication that this will get necessary things like housing, LTC homes, and transit built faster.

I oppose the replacement of the Endangered Species Act with weakened legislation as the proposed weakened legislation will accelerate extinction of not only endangered species, but all life.

As a young professional with experience in the environmental sector, I am firmly against the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007 (ESA) and its replacement by the proposed Species Conservation Act, 2025 (SCA).

I vehemently oppose the changes to species at risk protections proposed within the Species Conservation Act. The changes to habitat definitions do not align with scientific data nor the ecology of the animals this act proports to protect.

I do NOT agree that the current approach to the protection and conservation of species at risk is complicated, takes too long to complete, and causes unnecessary delays and costs for housing, transit, and critical infrastructure.

As a homeowner, tax payer and retired scientist residing in the riding of I am strongly opposed to Bill 5 “Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act” - specifically, the repeal of the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

I oppose the appeal of the Endangered Species Act. I would like to see continued support for Ontario species at risk through protection of them and their habitat. Science and research based approach for managing and protecting these species and their habitats at all stages of life.
I do not support these changes to weaken the endangered species act for economic growth.
Nature and the environment are priceless and need to be protected.

This proposal does not make any sense and does not appear to consider “sustainability” or protection of species at the core. This is ultimately detrimental to protected land in Ontario and the proposed changes should be carefully reconsidered.
Now is not the time to repeal the Endangerd Species legislation. The proposed bill does not protect habitat or species. It seems to be watering down much-needed protection and leaves vulnerable species at risk. This proposed legislation undermines the important protection wildlife requires
This Omnibus bill proposes actions that would permanently damage vital Ontario wetlands and farmland, and will lead to costly (wasteful) court battles funded by taxpayer money.

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