In light of the most recent IPCC report and the significant impacts of climate change that we are all seeing even within Canada(from flooding, tornadoes, recurring forest fires) why would the provincial government think it wise to disband an agreement (cap and trade) that had generated $2B in funding for climate change adaptation and related infrastructure projects?

This agreement and others results from the effort of multiple individuals, organizations, corporates and governments to create. To tear this down without having a plan in place, while indicating effort would instead be placed on fighting the federal government "imposition of a carbon tax" is far from good governance, nor a strategy which will enable the best outcomes for society and the children growing up within it. It is irresponsible and takes direct aim at the quality of life that we currently enjoy (clean air, clean water) as a result of decades of effort to improve stewardship of our natural resources.

I urge the new government to build on the work done to date to make us ready and resilient for the future, because it is here now and we are all feeling the impacts. For our collective sakes, I beseech you to set aside partisan politics and take this seriously.
