I am opposed to Schedule 8 of the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025, exempting every project tied to the Ontario Place redevelopment (and any enterprise or activity that furthers the Ontario Place Redevelopment Project that is not at the Ontario Place site) from Part II of the Envi

I am completely opposed to these proposed changes. Ontario's endangered, at risk, and vulnerable species must be protected! Gutting their already limited protections is frankly disgusting.

To the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks:
I am a graduate student who does research on endangered animal species across Ontario, and I am writing to express my strong concern about the proposed Bill 5.

it is important to keep focus on recovery strategies and programming. To simply register and the move forward with projects is a huge risk to species as the proponent’s plan will not have been reviewed and there will be much less oversight and no recovery strategies. How are species to recover?

I strongly oppose Bill 5, the Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy Act. This legislation poses a serious threat to Ontario’s natural heritage, democratic processes and Indigenous rights.

the bill 5 that will allow the Ontario government to eliminate the endangered species act. Even if you don’t think this affects you it absolutely will. This is a power grab allowing developers to gain access to lands that were protected and classified as critical habitats for at risk species.

Myself and everybody I've spoken to this far is horrified by this bill. This bill strips away key environmental protections that impact the Ontario its citizens love and care about, myself included. We as citizens that you represent are begging you. Please do not let us down.
I strongly opposes Bill 5 because I believe in stronger protections for endangered species and I oppose overriding the law in special economic zones, which can put at risk our environmental protections. I oppose the suggested shortcuts for industry that limit public oversight.

As someone who works in environmental consulting and defers to the ESA every day, the changes that are proposed here will absolutely not adequately protect species at risk.

I do not like Bill 5. No not one bit. Because logic and reasons that others have commented on with more detail. Does that mean that Bill 5 will be passed into Ontario law anyway? Probably yes. Why even ask for comments if it's going to pass anyway.

I strongly oppose this regressive and harmful bill that will speed up the destruction of critical habitat for endangered species and removes basic environmental rights, including our rights to be informed and have a say, as well as our rights to a clean environment, as recognized by the Canadian EPA

The proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) impact matters of Provincial significance, and are not a benefit to the people of Ontario.
