Bill 4 is an absolutely ridiculous and short-sighted action. The IPCC report has made it clear that our planet is in dire straits. To introduce Bill 4, with no climate change plan in replace The Climate Change Mitigation and Low-carbon Economy Act, 2016, is absolutely disrespectful to the citizens of Ontario; will contribute to the contamination of our planet; and will only end up costing us more in the long run. We need a plan that forces pollutants to pay an economic price for polluting -- that is the only way they will cut their emissions. Ontario could be moving forward on climate change -- we could be working towards creating jobs and investment in a clean economy. Instead, we are moving backwards -- introducing Bill 4, and removing references to climate change from government websites. Pretending climate change doesn't exist is not going to make it go away. This government's approach to climate change -- essentially, cancelling all initiatives that attempt to combat it -- is truly appalling.
