I strongly object to Bill 4, the Cap and Trade Cancellation Act.

Instead, please enact 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 returning the revenues to the pockets of Ontarians so they can lower their carbon footprint. I want legally binding emissions targets in line with our obligations to the Paris Climate Agreement. I want Ontario to be 100% powered by clean energy by 2050. I want Ontario to end subsidies and handouts for fossil fuel companies and redirect this money to clean energy solutions.

Please don’t pass Bill 4. To do so would be irresponsible, short-sighted and quite frankly, morally repugnant in the manner in which it would actively damage the health of our planet and condemn future generations around the world to hardship from sea-level rise, extreme weather causing loss of life, habitat loss due to drought and wildfires, erosion due to flooding etc.
