I am extremely concerned by the erosion of democracy in Ontario. Decisions, especially those that affect our environment, human health and human rights, should not be concentrated in the hands of a few ministers.

During his campaign he promised not to do this again.. ow he’s forgotten the folks who voted him in. Healthcare …monies to privatization not to Ontario doctors, nurses and hospitals
Now this as well to please his buddies and his own needs.
I truly hope he gets stopped once and for all.

I am opposed to the passage of Bill 5 as I feel it gives too much power to government, developers and corporations, while removing safeguards which are there to protect the public. It was rushed through without sufficient public education, input and debate.

I'm opposed to Bill 5. It will be disastrous to Indigenous rights and interests. It will be dangerous to endangered species. It removes vital features of the environment assessment Act. Vulnerable zones will be at risk. Provisions will endanger cultural heritage!

Bill 5 is a direct attack on Ontario’s environmental assets. In today’s current climate crisis, it is not the time to reverse environmental protections. It is undeniable that weather has become more unpredictable, with floodings, wildfires and even tornadoes becoming more prevalent.

I am against this bill. As a Canadian citizen I feel that this bill gives Ford too much control over choices made in Ontario, that could be swayed by personal wants of corporations, etc. that will harm the Province, the country in so many ways. No to this bill.
Schedule 9 of Bill 5 proposes to permit the creation of Special Economic Zones, SEZs which gives legislative power to the executive branch to not only create these zones but to define them and designate and define 'trusted proponents' and projects.

At first I was completely shocked when I heard about Bill 5. I then realized that governments around the world are tilting towards authoritarian rule. Premier Ford is sadly no exception to this trend.

This short-sighted, deceptively named bill will have long-term negative effects on the sensitive ecosystems of Ontario. Doug Ford should be ashamed of himself and should stop trying to destroy the best parts of this province.

I am writing to request Bill 5 to be repealed. This bill is incredibly shot sites and is taking a chainsaw where a scalpel is needed when it comes to allowing environmental protections and timely development to occur.

Your government's discretionary use of power has repeatedly proven unsound in hindsight. Due process can be changed with appropriate consult but just overriding checks & balances is wrong. You may have the most seats in parliament but you do not have a mandate with only ~20% population support.

Bill 5 would repeal Ontario's Endangered Species Act, 2007, marking the end of most meaningful provincial protections for endangered, threatened and special concern species in Ontario.
