I do not support the proposed interim changes to the Endangered Species Act, 2007 and the proposal for the Species Conservation Act, 2025. I feel these changes will be extremely harmful to both the floral and fauna of Ontario.
I highly oppose bill 5.
I want strong environmental protections, particularly for endangered species. This includes much more than just immediate habitation, but also migration routes and food sources.

Unleashing Ontario's economy cannot happen by sacrificing the environment by the dissolution of applying for permits that may threaten species and their habitats, or by allowing the possible use of Special Economic Zones which counter Indigenous sovereignty and the soul of democracy.

On behalf of the Shawanaga First Nation Species at Risk Department, I am writing to express our deep concern with the proposed Bill 5 and its dangerous implications for Indigenous rights, environmental protection, and the future of Ontario’s biodiversity.

I heavily disapprove of Bill 5. It is incredibly short sighted, ignorant, and self serving for the benefit of corporations and not the general public.

Developers should be mandated to replace any habitats that are damaged during development. This should not be voluntary. Their primary objective i to make money and thus won't spend more than needed.

The changes should be refused due to insufficient environmental protections in the proposed bill as well as the undermining of Indigenous land right in the proposals through the allowance of overriding Indigenous decision making by the provincial gorvernment.
Hello, I am writing to you because I am shocked and disgusted at the new law the province of Ontario is trying to enact in Bill 5. This new law claims to be about “protecting Ontario” when it is actually designed to do just the opposite.

As a civil engineer, I have significant concerns about the proposed changes to the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the introduction of the Species Conservation Act, 2025, as outlined in ERO 025-0380. Key concerns include:

Doug Ford continues to push for developers to destroy important habitat for species for their own personal gain. Take for example the past changes proposed for developers in the Greenbelt.

The proposed changes to this bill are ill-advised, irresponsible and downright shameful. The PC party has no interest in protecting Ontario's natural treasures which are directly linked to our ability to live healthy and happy lives. This is a money grab for Doug Ford alone.

I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed changes to Ontario's Endangered Species Act (ESA) under the Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025. These changes threaten biodiversity and undermine essential protections for endangered species.

Gutting the Endangered Species Act, as proposed in Bill 5, would be a travesty with devastating and likely irreversible consequences. We need development, but we need development that follows sufficient procedures to protect our province's biodiversity.

I want to ask if you have genuinely ever stood outside and listened to what is around you. I’m not talking about outside in the depths of a city, though that’s nature too. But somewhere it is quiet.

Bill 5 gutting the Endangered Species Act will have a devastating effect on our province’s biodiversity. Even more of a concern is the disregard for process. It sets a disturbing precedent.
I strongly oppose bill 5. I want strong environmental protections, especially protections for endangered species. I oppose development on protected greenbelt and indigenous land.

There is no good reason for the government to make protecting endangered species optional. This proposal allows the government to arbitrarily remove protections for endangered species or ignore scientific findings and not designate species in need of protections.

Politicians saying that we cannot continue with the current endangered species law while wanting to promote economic development are taking a lazy, narrow focus that extends only to the edge of their donors' wallets. The political powers are doing a tremendous disservice to future generations.

The proposed bill is a direct reflection of Doug Ford’s ambition to succeed at getting homes built at any cost. In this case it is the species. Last time it was the greenbelt. He plows through farm land to make highways so that more people can get jammed trying to work in Toronto.
