As an Ontario citizen, this bill greatly concerns me regarding its apathetic and shortsighted view on our responsibility to the environment and to each other. I, and many other Canadians, do not want to see this bill pass.
This bill will have irreversible damage done to our environment and is only to the benefit of corporations. This is very wrong and reiterates the lack of care and integrity our government has when dealing with the environment.

I oppose bill 5. There needs to be consultation for environmental considerations ahead of big projects. You cannot reverse a development after it is constructed. You can’t bring back the environment.
