Cap and Trade in Ontario is essential, as without it there would be little else currently in effect to limit emissions by big (industrial) polluters in Ontario. The reality is such that even more, much more, in addition to Cap and Trade must be done to successfully combat pollution.

I support Doug Ford and the PC party eliminating the cap and trade and any other form of carbon tax- The cap and trade is nothing but another tax and not the answer to reducing green house emissions.

Cap and Trade should not be scrapped. It is just coming online. At least 10 years should be given to see if it works. There is no need to developed ANOTHER plan. Scrapping it is going to cost a ton of money, and leave us with nothing to replace it.

The current lack of an active plan is an embarrassment. How can a povince as impotant as Ontario put the foremost global issue of our times behind cheap beer!

I feel that cancelling the Cap and Trade is a mistake. It has helped keep emissions in check by providing a stable source of funding for green initiatives.
The system will help reach commitments made by Canada for the Paris Accord.

I'm very concerned about the proposed cancellation of climate change mitigation plans and the potential impact of the loss of momentum this represents, at a time when we should be redoubling our efforts. I strongly oppose the cancellation.
I would like to encourage the government of Ontario to have a complete plan for how to address climate change and carbon emissions. At this time I do not support this measure.
Ontario is well positioned to be a world-leader and attract foreign businesses to the province. That is because our electricity system today is very low carbon (96% carbon-free last year according to the environmental commissioner).

Do not cancel the cap and trade program.
Our children's lives depend on it.
Surely you care about your own children.
Cap and trade will help to give them a healthier planet.
We cannot eat money or drink oil. Just ask your kids.
Cap and trade is a way to assist pollution generating industries in Ontario to fund reduction of their polluting.. How will cancellation of Ontario's Cap and trade program accomplish the reductions of pollutions or improve on them?
As a mother, my little humans are my world and nothing is more important to me than their health and happiness. Unfortunately, their well-being is being threatened by climate change.

On behalf of all the hard working people of Ontario, please pass Bill 4. Canadian winters are difficult enough without having to decide whether to heat one's home or to eat. We don't need anymore green energy boondoggles.

Cap and trade was working well. It has been shown by many studies to be the most cost-effective way to reduce emissions (thereby putting the lowest burden on consumers). Furthermore, it was paying for hundreds of clean energy initiatives in the province.

Climate change is one of the most important global issues of our time. The real and rising costs of climate change are felt all across the province through severe weather, impacts on public infrastructure, and adverse impacts to public health.

I am troubled by the lack of specificity around what level of targets will be set and with what frequency reports will be given on progress against the climate plan.

To cancel the Cap and Trade program with no Climate Change plan or replacement presented is not sound governing nor transparent. What is the Ontario Government”s climate change plan?

This legislation will cost taxpayers billions to buy back credits. As well the federal government will apply the carbon tax anyway and spend the money in Ontario but the Ontario government will have no control over where this money is spent.

I would just like to say I am against ending the Cap & Trade program here in Ontario. At a time when the storms are getting worse around the world and the fact that we rarely have winters here in Ontario is alarming. In fact we need to stay the coarse if not do more than we are already.

Please don't get rid of Cap & Trade. It was helping our environment and encouraging green-based businesses to establish themselves in Ontario and thrive here, all the while reducing our carbon footprint.
