I am writing as a constituent of Don Valley North and a concerned Ontarian regarding the alarming changes to the Endangered Species Act and the New Species Conservation Act. Here are my concerns:

This bill should not be passed. Reducing protections for endangered species is the wrong decision. We need to protect these species and their ecosystems because maintaining biodiversity in Ontario is crucial for maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting all life on Earth, including humans.

These restrictions exist for a reason. Many endangered species are in Ontario and are key parts of our ecosystems. If we remove protections on them, then it could lead to the collapse of our ecosystem and worsen climate change even more than it already is. This threatens our very existence.

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

I strongly oppose the proposed changes to weaken protections for Ontario's Endangered Species. The worst part is redefining "habitat" to a very narrow definition of den/nest/hibernation sites (for plants, just the root area!).

The purpose of government is to ensure the well-being of its citizens.
Allowing developers to start construction before the results of environmental studies and permits are in place does not benefit the citizens of Ontario. It will cause irreversible damage to the detriment of Ontarians.

I am commenting to express my deep concern about Bill 5 and the Conservative government’s continued efforts to dismantle Ontario’s environmental safeguards.

I wrote that extinction is permanent and once a species is added to the endangered species list they're on track to become extinct unless we intervene. We should invest more time into the process because it's so permanent, not less.
I am deeply concerned about your government’s plan to weaken protections for Ontario’s endangered species in the name of speeding up infrastructure projects.

The ESA is essential to protecting Ontario biodiversity. The destruction proposed to this act is shameful and will result in the extirpation of species from the province.

I and many other people oppose Bill 5 and the dishonesty of Ford. Our environment needs to be protected and so to our people. It is obvious our government priorities profit over building a sustainable future with integrity.
