These changes are WRONG and are short sighted opportunism. We CANNOT gut our green spaces and endanger already squeezed out animals. I am FURIOUS at Doug Ford for suggesting this. BACK OFF!!!!!!
NO to anyone being able to begin an activity immediately after registering, without a permit being reviewed. And NO to the government being able to remove species from the protected list at their discretion!!!
I oppose Bill 5. It guts protections, ignores science, and tramples Indigenous rights.
This bill benefits no one except rich developers and a variety of MPs and does nothing to benefit the public.
Scrap it.

This would be the most foolish approach to conservation yet. Urban densification of existing places feels like the most logical approach. Rather than destroying the natural world that remains.

This is an extremely irresponsible and short sited bill. It will destroy ecosystems, and benefit developers. We will be paying the price for years to come if this goes through.

This proposed bill would be detrimental to already strained natural ecosystems. In addition to destroying the habitats of native plant and animal species, this bill could result in insufficient wetlands and transition lands that prevent soil erosion and flooding.

This legislation will destroy fragile habitats and is nothing more than a transparent gift to Doug Ford's developer buddies, and yet another attempt to snatch away and develop the Greenbelt.

We are in a global biodiversity crisis. In Ontario alone, more than 230 plants and animals are at risk. The healthy forests, waters and wetlands species at risk rely on sustain all Ontarians.
I urge your government to:

I am strongly against this proposal. We need to protect our environment and endangered species above all. We can find sustainable ways to enhance infrastructure without cutting corners at the expense of our environment
I oppose Bill 5. It guts protections, ignores science, and tramples Indigenous rights. Stop putting developers greed ahead of what is needed.

This bill is going to destroy ecosystems. Without consultation with experts, you are giving developers the green light to bypass environmental safeguards just to get something done ASAP - damn the consequences.

Please do don't remove this legislation!! Our wildlife and natural world are far more valuable than buildings!!! Natural resources are critical for our economy and are renewable. If we destroy them we have nothing. They are only renewable if we sustain them.

“They paved paradise and put up a parking lot”. Scrap this bill which ignores indigenous rights, will destroy vital fish habitats and do away with our watersheds. Please, affordable housing can be built without destroying our environment. Don’t sell our land to developers!

This proposal is an absurd, ignorant rejection of expertise in favour of biased political preference. Giving the Ontario government authorization to ignore crucial conservation classifications will permit enormous, potentially irreparable damage to Ontario ecosystems.
