The proposed Bill 4 would be a huge setback to positive action against climate change, including meeting Canada's commitment to the Paris Climate Accord. The future is with renewable energy. Already the renewable energy sector generates thousands of jobs and significant revenue. Organizations such as the Quebec Pension Fund, one of the most prosperous pension funds in Canada, realizing the urgent need to reduce carbon emissions and the enormous revenue potential is investing heavily in this sector. If the current Ontario provincial government is serious about the environment and atmosphere in which Ontarians and all Canadians must live, our economic future and jobs, it must begin to distance itself from carbon-producing resources.

Before discarding existing climate plans, even though you may not consider them to be ideal, at the very least these must be maintained until another plan is in place. Without any climate change plan, we are heading for disaster.
