I am taking this from the Green Party of Ontario's submission on Bill 4 because it says it better than I could. The United Nations Climate Science body reported in a monumental new report released Sunday that "We have just 12 years to make massive and unprecedented changes to global energy infrastructure to limit global warming to moderate levels..." It is imperative the the government move forward, not backward, on climate control. I do not have confidence in this government to take climate change seriously and am terrified of the damage that is going to be inflicted on future generations. We can stop it but the will has to be there. Think of the future, not your bank accounts.

Bill 4 fails to match the urgency of the climate crisis and represents a major step backward in the fight against climate change.
It is unfair and unreasonable to eliminate the province’s only climate plan without being transparent with the public about the plan to replace it.
Bill 4 closes Ontario for business to the $26 trillion global clean economy and will have a negative effect on clean jobs and investment.
Pollution pricing must be a pillar for a climate plan to be efficient and effective.
A credible climate plan would include binding targets to shift Ontario towards being 100% carbon neutral by 2050, supported by specific measures in the areas of energy efficiency, home and building heating, transportation, electricity, and climate adaptation.
Where Bill 4 goes wrong:
The consultation process for Bill 4 was insufficient
Bill 4 ignores the urgency of climate change
Bill 4 closes Ontario for business to the clean economy
Bill 4 gives little detail about a replacement plan
Bill 4 does not contain binding emissions targets
Bill 4 eliminates the most important policy tool: pollution pricing
The way forward: Recommendations for a credible climate plan
Adopt carbon fee and dividend
Focus on energy efficiency in homes and buildings
Electrify our transportation system
Support jobs and investment in the clean economy
Make our electricity system clean, affordable, and community-owned
Prepare Ontario for climate impacts
