I strongly oppose bill 5. I want stronger environmental protections and the protection of endangered species. I oppose shortcuts for industry. There is no point in giving special accommodations for business if the environment is destroyed for my children and grandchildren. Read more

The whole act is a blatant disregard for people, for creatures, for the air, for the water, for the soil, for the microorganisms, for the plants and the trees. Read more

As an Ontarian, I oppose Bill 5 and the removal & changes of our environmental protections and endangered species act. The Current protections need to stay in place to protect both the land and the animals that live on these lands.

It is important to remember that what comes out of the ground cannot be put back. There is a sense that Bill 5 is to put a rush on projects which could have health and safety implications on life as well as the environment. Read more

Getting rid of environmental protections to make profit for private companies is a shortsighted idea detrimental to future generations of Ontarians. This government has proven that they need supervision. They've consistently chosen to bolster private companies over the people of Ontario. Read more

Bill 5, if enacted, will weaken or eliminate legislative safeguards which protect the environment, human health, and Indigenous rights. This needs to be repealed.

this proposed legislation in the omnibus bill 5 completely undermines the rights of indigenous people in northern Ontario - it is their land under treaty 9 with the crown. Trampling of the rights of indigenous people, is simply wrong. Read more

The content of Bill 5 is very concerning. Creating areas that are exempt from due process, that focus on the business interests of a few, and that are not subject to the oversight of the legislature is anti-democratic and reeks of cronyism. Ontario needs to plan with a 7-generation lens. Read more
