This bill seems like an irresponsible move. If the government wishes to make changes to its plans to combat climate change, they should already have replacement legislation prepared. This bill only cancels the existing green energy initiative and protects the government from being liable for the millions (billions?) of dollars that they might otherwise be sued for.
Especially after the IPCC's recent report that says we are now in a life-or-death race against time to get off fossil fuels by 2030, this is a horrible step in the wrong direction. We need a price on carbon and it needs to be high.
I want a real climate change plan to reduce emissions, help people save energy and create jobs in the $26 trillion clean economy.
I want Ontario to put a price on pollution, making polluters pay for their emissions and return the revenues to the pockets of Ontarians so they can lower their carbon footprint.
I want legally binding emissions targets that exceed our half-hearted pledge in the Paris Climate Agreement.
Ontario needs to be 100% powered by clean energy by 2030.
I want Ontario to end subsidies and handouts for fossil fuel companies and redirect this money to clean energy solutions.
