If passed, Bill 5 would be "an unprecedented rollback of the rule of law in Ontario," according to Environmental Defence.
The Bill would create so-called Special Economic Zones that would enable Premier Doug Ford's Cabinet to "pick and choose who does and doesn't have to comply with municipal and provincial laws."
The Bill would also repeal the Endangered Species Act and replace it with highly weakened legislation, spelling out a "death sentence for endangered species and their habitats in Ontario," according to our partners at the Wilderness Committee.
First Nations across Ontario are also voicing strong opposition to Bill 5, "warning that it threatens inherent rights, Treaty obligations and sovereignty," according to the Chiefs of Ontario.
