if this is to be a place for the public, and it is, then the proposals for all permits and approvals must be required to be posted to the Environmental Registry of Ontario.

I firmly oppose this bill in its current form. As has been stated by others, I understand this bill to be a gross overreach of government power in that it:
- overrides indigenous rights
- throws away environmental protections for endangered species and their habitats

It would be an incredible disgrace to not let the public have their comments heard. In times like these it is important to remember that your job is not to complete a project, it’s not to advance your department, it’s to work in the interests of the community.

There is no aspect of my life, professionally or personally, where I can support Bill 5. As a lands manager for a First Nation community in Northern Ontario, I know that the impacts from this policy would be far-reaching and negatively affect the quality of life for citizens across the province.

As a Torontonian I am in opposition to Bill 5 which is seeking to bypass the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993 and trying to take shortcuts.

Why is the government being so secretive with Ontario Place? Why doesn't the government want to hear what the people of Ontario think about their proposals for Ontario Place?

I am writing to object in the strongest possible way to the proposed exemptions from the Environmental Bill of Rights that will remove the right of Ontarian's to be advised of, or to comment on, any required permits at Ontario Place, on or off site, to support the project.

This government is constantly finding ways to take things from the general public, that by right is ours, and sell it off to their friends and supporters. This act is nothing more than that.
I disagree with this bill. Ontario residents should retain the right to know what is going on. The environment will much less protection if this bill passes! This is the wrong decision for our children and their future!!
The economy doesn’t need to destroy the environment to prosper. It needs the environment. Without it you do not have the resources by which to have an economy.

Unleashing Ontario's economy cannot happen by sacrificing the environment by the dissolution of applying for permits that may threaten species and their habitats, or by allowing the possible use of Special Economic Zones which counter Indigenous sovereignty and the soul of democracy.

I am against this proposal. There is NO good reason that the Ontario place redevelopment should be exempted from the Environmental Bill of Rights. Laws exist for a reason and need to be followed to make sure a project does not create undue damage and cost to taxpayers and the environment.

By removing the part of the review process that allows Ontarians the right to comment on and advocate for changes being made to Ontario Place, this government would be removing the Ontario Place project even farther from protections for wildlife, ecosystems and the water that it will be so close by

I am extremely opposed to Bill 5 and the move to remove environmental protections in Ontario and permit development without appropriate oversight or regulation.

I'm concerned this move makes it look like the concerns of developers are being out over the concerns of constituents. It undermines decades of hard earned environmental protections.
