This proposed change is very irresponsible and not science based. For a party that preaches small government, this is a huge over step and making politicians the decision makers when they are not the experts. Please reconsider the protections for endangered species.

The future of at-risk birds and their habitats is paramount to the diversity and environmental health of this province. It is devastating to watch the Ontario government willfully neglecting and destroying the environment in the name of efficiency.
Scrap Bill 5! It guts protections, ignores crucial science, and tramples Indigenous rights. As an Ontario resident, I very much oppose this legislation.
While I believe it is important to regularly review legislation to remove redundancies, esnure appropriate regulatory flexibilities, and clarify definitions, I am concerned about several changes proposed for the Endagered Species Act.

I strongly oppose this action by the provincial government, it is reckless and inhumane! These decisions have no right to be made without consulting Ontario’s people.
This proposal is so dangerous! We must protect our endangered species and our environment from unchecked development. This proposal undermines indigenous voices and is a threat to all of Ontarios health and futures.
This plan is of great concern, as it seems that the government has only to claim that destroying the Greenbelt, habitats, conservation areas etc must be done to enable ‘economic growth’.

To whom it may concern. I vehemently oppose this bill. I want to preserve the natural flora and fauna that is so abundant in the province, for future generations to appreciate as we do now.
I vote to stop this bill on its tracks.
Thank you

Canada is well known for it's unique scenes of nature, whether the Rocky Mountains in Alberta and B.C., or the iconic scenes of the prairies, among a few iconic scenes, we are also well known for our animals. Unfortunately due to human activities we have many animals that are endangered.

This Act should not be altered in any way that prevents further conservation for Canada’s Endangered Species. It is our role to help prevent the further loss of species and be more proactive and aggressive with our response in preservation.
Gutting the Endangered Species Act is something a video game villain would do. Protect our wildlife and green space. We have a planet that gives us fresh fruit and wild game, and sharing it with other species is not only crucial to their survival but to ours as well.

Our endangered species and at risk species need to be protected. This new proposal takes away too much of the already weak protection they have. Giving government the authority to add and remove species from the endangered list at their discretion is unacceptable.
Doug Ford’s “Protect Ontario” bill is like calling arson a home renovation. He’s gutting the Endangered Species Act so his developer friends can pave ecosystems without even checking if anything lives there — then call it growth.
