I am a father of 6 children and a grandfather of 8 and a retired Paramedic. I have seen first hand the health effects on children and the elderly from the pollution of burning fossil fuels. The best thing Ontario ever did was to eliminate coal fired hydro generation.

Deeply disappointed to see Ontario taking a step backwards when it comes to climate change action and jump starting economic growth. The evidence shows a price on pollution works. Shameful laggards the lot of you.
I think you’re making a terrible mistake cancelling a program that is designed to reduce our carbon emissions. It is morally bankrupt to continue to deny threat the climate change poses to all of our lives It is a dereliction of duty to do nothing about it

The following is an excerpt from the Executive Summary of my submission to the Federal / Provincial / Territorial Working Group on putting a price on carbon.

The cancellation of cap and trade is an awful idea. We need to cap emissions to create a healthier environment, thereby reducing health care costs and increase the quality of life for Ontario residents.

Scrapping cap and trade is completely irresponsible. Scrap Bill 4 instead. We need a financial mechanism to limit carbon emissions. We had one and it was good. Bill 4 ruins it and has already been extremely disruptive to the market. Please put Ontario's cap and trade system back on track.
The repeal of this program without a superior more intensive modality to reduce carbon pollution is an insult to responsible Canadians! AGW is an established fact and to refuse to act on what is rapidly becoming a crisis is the action of petulant children like the USA's Trump!

I am extremely disappointed and heartsick about this bill. This is such a short-sighted money grab initiative while our planet is being destroyed. How do you sleep at night?
I am in strong favour of keeping the carbon tax / Cap and Trade system in place.
I strongly oppose any attempts at its cancellation, or any reduction which would impact the end goal of reducing our carbon emissions.

Cap and Trade should not be cancelled. In fact, many other measure should be added to it. I can already see the effects of climate change and scientists working in this field see it too. I need my government to take extreme measures to deal with the crisis that is killing our planet.

The repeal of this Act without presenting your alternative to it causes concern. The Act provided an opportunity to participate in the GreenOn program which enabled middle-class homeowners with a chance o improve the energy efficiency of their homes through an efficient funding program.

As a Mechanical Engineer here in Ontario who strives to make an impact during my lifetime towards a sustainable, science driven, and informative society, I wholeheartedly disagree with this decision.

Bill 4, the Cap and Trade Elimination Act, which is a market based solution to controlling carbon emissions, is costly and self-destructive. As a revenue neutral program it had already been able to fund many pollution and carbon mitigation initiatives, providing jobs and income for Ontarians.

Climate change is real, it is grave and it is within our power to mitigate.
Governments must use tools including taxation to create social change.
Taxes should be fair, simple and transparent.

Climate denial and inaction have enormous cost for our economy and environment, which is why Ontario needs a climate plan that is consistent with the Paris climate agreement targets.

I disagree with Bill 4: Cap and Trade Cancellation Act. Cap and Trade is one of the few available mechanisms for the government to effectively reduce carbon emissions in Ontario that utilizes market mechanisms rather than complicated regulations.

I disagree with the cap and trade or any carbon tax AT all - I fully support the PC party of Ontario and the Federal PC party in the endeavour to eliminate the cap and trade and any other so called carbon tax.
