Ontario needs a sensible carbon pricing plan, whether it's a continuation of the current Cap & Trade program, or a new, robust pricing plan, such as Carbon Fee & Dividend.

In addition, the carbon pricing plan must also prioritize maintaining and bolstering emissions standards and environmental protections, all while transitioning to a 100% renewable-fuel economy.

Specifically, we need:

(1) a comprehensive climate change plan to reduce emissions, to help people save money and create jobs in the multi-trillion dollar clean economy;

(2) a carbon price which charges polluters and returns dividends to Ontarians;

(3) to redirect fossil fuel subsidies into clean energy solutions, like green-o-vating our schools, homes, businesses and industries, incentivizing Electric Vehicle purchases and infrastructure, reforestation and expanding Ontario's Greenbelt, and more.

Please DO NOT leave us without any robust, effective carbon pricing plan. To do so is reckless and short-sighted.

Ontario has an obligation to all its residents, all Canadians, and all the world, to act on climate. We need carbon pricing, and more!
