It is a huge mistake to withdraw from the cap and trade program. Economic analysis and available evidence show that this is an efficient way to reduce carbon emissions. Ontario needs to do its part to reduce carbon emissions world wide to prevent climate change, which will be catastrophic for many communities around the world and for the world's ecosystems.

A carbon tax or cap and trade system are the appropriate measures to move the economy to a low carbon future. Please read the scientific evidence available and listen to the experts. There is a broad consensus among the scientific community, including economists, that this is the right way to go. It is your duty to be leaders on this initiative.

I am extremely disappointed in this move to withdraw from the cap and trade program.
