Especially considering the UN’s recent report on the status of climate change, it is clearly pivotal to reduce greenhouse gases where it matters most- on the corporate level. Cap and Trade is the best system that we have in place to do just that.

60% of Ontarians voted against this. The people of Ontario demand a coordinated government response to the climate crisis. Cancelling the cap and trade program is the opposite of that. Cancelling the Cap and Trade Act is shameful.
Cap-and-trade is extremely profitable for Ontario. It is a vital climate law that is working. Vital cap-and-trade money is funding energy-efficiency programs in schools, public housing, hospitals and transit systems and it helped greenhouse gas emissions decline from 2005 to 2016 in Ontario!

I am extremely disappointed that you plan on cancelling the cap and trade program. We NEED a program like this, if not even stronger, to facilitate the transition away from a fossil fuel based economy. The research is very clear that aggressive action is necessary in order to prevent future harm.

I am extremely disappointed in the new Ontario government for their hasty dismantling of the cap and trade system. This decision was purely one of political pandering to a base of supporters rather than a thoughtful decision in light of evidence and data.

Provincial Environment Minister Rod Philips, on meeting with Ontario's Environmental Commissioner Dianne Saxe: "As I said to her directly when we met, respectfully, we do not take well to folks telling us that we should not live up to the promises that we made."

I want Ontario to put a price on pollution, making polluters pay for their emissions and returning the revenues to the pockets of Ontarians so they can lower their carbon footprint.

The impact of man-made activities on the health of our planet, the wellbeing of global societies and our livelihoods here in Ontario is becoming more dangerous and more urgent. Man's effect on climate change is undeniable.

The government of Ontario must reimplement cap and trade or bring in a carbon tax. Climate change is real and is having a serious impact on our environment and health. We are running out of time. Please read the IPCC report.

We really need to be doing more for the environment not less. I do not support this bill to cancel the cap and trade. What is it going to take for our government to finally wake up to the sheer life and death matter the climate brings us?

It is very foolish to cancel Cap and Trade. Hiding your head in the sand will not change the current state of affairs. This government needs to realistically deal with climate change and to develop policies that will encourage people to make wise use of all our resources.
A price on carbon emissions is vital to promoting clean and renewable energy. It is a tangible, effective way to force producers to change their habits and innovate.
This is considered the first step by many climate experts in order to start immediate cut-backs of greenhouse gas emissions.

Please do not end this vital program. Climate change is real. We need to do more. Cap and trade was providing valuable funding with little burden on taxpayers to much needed programs across the province
I do not support the cancellation of cap and trade in Ontario. I will not support any political party or candidate who supports this bill. Cap and trade is working, and we need to move away from fossil fuels.

Ontario’s new PC government, like the Trump administration for that matter, appears to feel no urgency to act to stop or retard climate change. Its first acts after taking power accelerated climate change even before formulating an emissions reduction policy.
