I am concerned that Bill 5 gives too much power to politicians to select development projects that put Ontario's air, land and water at greater risk of degradation. Lire davantage

My concern is the sweeping powers Bill 5 gives the Ontario Government to override environmental protections, exempt hand-picked companies from laws, and sideline Indigenous voices within "Special Economic Zones". Lire davantage

Economic growth cannot come at the climate’s expense, yet this is what is happening. The criteria for Special Economic Zones are currently too vague, raising the risk that developments may bypass Ontario’s and Canada’s legal commitments to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. Lire davantage

I do not support this proposal. The proposal allows SEZs to be declared anywhere in Ontario if Cabinet believes that area is “economically significant or strategically important” and “no larger than necessary”. This is too much discretion and power to Cabinet, risking corruption. Lire davantage

It seems that the whole notion of special economic zones is anti-democratic. For example, you begin by informing us why consultation is not required. This leaves the impression, intended or otherwise, that any opposing views will be ignored. Lire davantage

We need to be taking decisions related to the environnement from the perspective that we have the opportunity to better care for our planet for generations to come. Constant overproduction is only destroying the planet. It isn’t an opinion. It’s a fact. Lire davantage

We, as a society, have lost our connection to each other and to the earth we live on. We do not have the right to continue to manipulate 'laws' to suit the wants of a few thereby impacting the legacy to our children. Lire davantage

Pushing this through could set a dangerous precedent, that cabinet can approve anything it deems important, regardless of the impact on Indigenous communities, the environment, and species at risk, etc. Lire davantage

The thing that makes us great is our land. It is far more valuable when it is intact and diversity is maintained. This legislation will allow developers to ignore our role as stewards. Lire davantage

The economy is not the most important consideration for our lives. I believe politicians have forgotten that we are intrinsically interconnected and part of the natural world. By reducing what we consider to be a 'habitat' we are putting the natural world, including ourselves at great risk. Lire davantage

The proposed guidelines are broad and vague, leaving them open to misuse. In light of Bill 5 and other recent blatant misappropriations of power in direct opposition to the people’s will, we do not trust the Ford government to make ethical use of any such language. Lire davantage
