The consultation process for Bill 4 was insufficient. The current Ontario government has already shown their willingness to push through legislation in a less than transparent manner without acknowledging peer reviewed scientific research. Allowing Bill 4 to proceed would follow in this pattern.

Bill 4 does not:

Provide a plan to address the urgent reality of climate change.

Give sufficient detail about a replacement plan.

contain binding emissions targets.

Eliminates the most important policy tool: pollution pricing.

Additionally, Bill 4 hurts the Intario economy by closing Ontario for business to the clean economy.

Bill 4 fails to acknowledge our climate crisis and represents a major step backward in the fight against climate change.
