The situation for our children is dire: we need to address climate change in order to keep the future open for them. Bill 4 is working against this. And so I am strongly against Bill 4. Please, please, reject the bill.

Though I am not a Green party follower, I agree with their claims:

* 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.

thanks,
Kym
