It's true. Cap and Trade wasn't all that it was cracked to be, despite all the good it did.
Clearly, this is our time to make the RIGHT choices.

Cancelling the Cap and Trade Agreement without a plan to combat climate change is a terrible idea.
No other ideas in the current PC platform will matter if towns full of people who voted for you are continuously destroyed by storms, flood damage and high winds.
Buck a beer won't matter.

What "on earth" does it take our politicians to accept that global warming and climate change are a threat to everything people have accomplished to date ....focus,focus,focus.....PLEASE
I am very disappointed with my Ontario Government actions in not protecting the earth. It is my understanding that Cap and Trade at least penalized corporations that are polluters and without proposing a better plan the government is trying to end this action.

As a citizen of Ontario, I firmly believe that the government of this province ought to prioritize a climate plan that is consistent with the Paris climate agreement targets. Climate denial and inaction have enormous costs for our economy, our health, and our environment.

I thoroughly disagree with cancelling the cap and trade policy in response to climate change. It took years of consultation to reach this decision and allows for Ontario to fall under the Federal government requirement of a climate change plan.

Instead of just canceling cap and trade, show us some of your ideas for its replacement. Is it true, as rumoured, that your government has banned the use of the term "climate change" in the provincial bureaucracy? If so, how retrogressive and wrong-headed and just plain stupid - SHAME!
I am writing to express my strong objection to this proposed legislation. Time and time again it has been demonstrated that industries are irresponsive to adjusting their practices in order to reduce greenhouse emissions, barring a financial interest compelling them to do so.

I strongly oppose Bill 4, the Cap and Trade Cancellation Act, 2018. This is for many reasons. First and foremost is that climate change presents a huge economic and social risk to Canada and many other nations, and we in Ontario must do our part.

Carbon emission reduction is increasingly urgent. Cap-and-trade is not an ideal mechanism for this, but is the best that Ontario has done to date.

The proposal is ill-considered. Climate change is a serious and growing threat to global ecosystems and economies. It is important that every jurisdiction take action to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in order to lessen the impacts of climate change.

As a 26-year-old Ontarian, I am deeply, deeply offended by the choice to cancel one of the province's only actions for reducing the greenhouse gases that we release.

I urge the Conservative government of Ontario to rescind its decision to end the current cap and trade program. Surely members of the party realize that refusing to address urgent policies to stop climate change will only harm future members of their own families.

What the government has put forward in this bill is completely unacceptable, given that they have proposed no other mechanism for carbon pricing. If they acknowledge the reality of climate change, how can they justify proceeding with no plan for reducing carbon emissions?

I believe opting out of the existing Cap and Trade Agreement is a costly mistake for Ontario. I think a national approach with all of the Provinces signing on is the way to go. The mechanism is already in place. It makes no sense for Ontario to spend the time developing a new plan.
