I want you to continue with the Cap and Trade program because it was helping people. This program was helping vulnerable and low-income groups. Energy efficiency upgrades would help improve buildings for social housing projects and senior homeowners. This could lead to reduced costs and better living conditions for low-income people. Seniors are often on fixed incomes and any savings from weatherproofing or having LED lights installed go a long way to save money on monthly bills. It can even help them stay in their homes. Funding transit and cycling helps low-income people who cannot afford a car like university students, who are doing everything they can to save money. I want cap and trade to continue helping the people who need it most.

I also liked seeing the program subsidizing the purchase of electric vehicles. I helped to test drive electric cars and they were wonderful. As an elderly person, I want to see a future that is greener and better for my children and grandchildren. I garden, I recycle, I compost, and I buy local and organic. But, I want to see more done and cap and trade is a great way to do it.
