I reject your climate change…

I reject your climate change cancellation bill. Bill 4 is a giant leap backwards. It dismantles all of our climate action without any plan to replace it.

Where Bill 4 goes wrong:
The consultation process for Bill 4 was insufficient
Bill 4 ignores the urgency of climate change
Bill 4 closes Ontario for business to the clean economy
Bill 4 gives little detail about a replacement plan
Bill 4 does not contain binding emissions targets
Bill 4 eliminates the most important policy tool: pollution pricing

The way forward: Recommendations for a credible climate plan
Adopt carbon fee and dividend
Focus on energy efficiency in homes and buildings
Electrify our transportation system
Support jobs and investment in the clean economy
Make our electricity system clean, affordable, and community-owned
Prepare Ontario for climate impacts

We need to do better to be leaders in the future. DO NOT take us backwards.
