Of course Ontario needs both carrot and stick approaches to encourage better corporate behaviour. The 'carbon tax' narrative is divisive and not helpful. Penalties for Pollution is a phrase that many Ontarians would support, especially if people were informed on this issue. Please continue with both incentives for improved practice and significant penalties for larger emitters. Public consultations on the thresholds for the penalty regime should be held, and supported with examples from progressive European nations that have shown progress on emissions reductions.
