Hello,
I am deeply concerned about the direction we are taking in this province and country in the face of climate change realities. I believe that the best market-based way to reduce greenhouse gases is a price on carbon, either a direct tax or a cap-and-trade system. In both cases, the government can return the income it earns to the people, so it is not a “tax grab”. And the whole point is for businesses and individuals to take steps to reduce their carbon emissions so they don’t have to pay it.
Ontario's Cap and Trade system, linked with Quebec and California, has brought about $3 billion into our province in its first 1 1/2 years and was paying for actions that further reduce greenhouse gas emissions - like upgrades to buildings, rebates for electric cars, and incentives for innovation.
This makes sense.
Thanks
