Repeal Bill 5

Repeal Bill 5

On June 4, 2025 – despite widespread opposition from Indigenous leaders, environmentalists, civil liberty organisations and labour groups – the Government of Ontario passed Bill 5, Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025.

On June 4, 2025 – despite widespread opposition from Indigenous leaders, environmentalists, civil liberty organisations and labour groups – the Government of Ontario passed Bill 5, Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025.

This disastrous legislation scraps the Endangered Species Act, creates lawless “special economic zones” for developers to exploit and undermines the rights of Indigenous Peoples.

Bill 5 will have enormous consequences for Ontarians and the natural world around us. Without essential safeguards, the fresh water we drink and the clean air we breathe are at risk. If biodiversity – like bees and other native pollinators – continues to decline, our entire food system will be threatened.

Together, we can overturn Bill 5 and replace it with legislation that respects the rights of Indigenous Peoples and the right to a healthy environment for all Ontarians.

Join us in calling for Premier Ford and your MPP to repeal Bill 5. Like they did with the Greenbelt land grab in 2023, the government can still reverse course.
