I support the continuation of the cap and trade policy. Please tax carbon. Please tax polluters. We need to protect the environment and people BEFORE profits and corporation.
Cancelling the cap and trade system puts Ontario back environmentally, and economically. It is an opportunity for Ontario to be a leader and model on how environmental policy can also benefit an economy. Instead, Ontario is being persuaded with soundbites and false narratives that impedes progress.

I think that it is important with any change in legislation to consider and review new legislation before cancelling the existing laws. As simple as looking before you cross a road, not after you've stepped off the sidewalk.

This is a horrific policy repeal. Climate change is the defining problem of a generation and should we ignore the dire scientific evidence, human beings as a whole will suffer and perish.

I vehemently oppose this new proposal. I am disgusted by the blatant disregard for our world that this Conservative government is showing by attempting to remove environmental protections. More money in the hands of corporations at the expense of this planet is NOT ACCEPTABLE!!
I am concerned about the repeal of the Cap and Trade and the effect it will have on our economy. This has been a growth area in our Northern community and now small start up businesses are working in an unpredictable world.

Environment Minister Rod Phillips said about the cap-and-trade program is "a punishing, regressive tax that forces low and middle income families to pay more. It’s a job killing tax that would impose massive new costs on businesses and cripple our economy at a time of economic sensitivity,”

I am an Ontario tax payer, I’m proud to live here, and to have started a young family here. We cannot cancel the cap and trade program. Ontario needs to make a serious commitment to the health and safety of future generations by investing actual dollars in fighting climate change.

The carbon tax was decided upon based on much consultation and the work of policy analysts. It was based upon experience of other jurisdictions who have shown that carbon taxes do help both the environment and the economy.

I think it is highly irresponsible to to cancel the current cap and trade program without some sort of carbon pricing measure ready to replace it.

Dear Premier and Ontario Government,
The following is provided with respect to Bill 4, Cap and Trade Cancellation Act, 2018:
Firstly, no action to implement this Bill should be taken until the Government has completed its consultation on the climate action plan which is to replace it.

Scientists say global warming is responsible for more intense and more frequent extreme weather, such as storms, droughts, floods and fires, and Michael yesterday was fueled by abnormal water temperatures in the Gulf — 4-to-5 degrees above the historic norm for this time of year.

There is a tonne of misinformation about cap and trade circulating, and that is disheartening, but for the sake of simplicity, I'll narrow my thoughts and concerns down to one, which I believe is the most compelling.

I believe this is an incredibly short-sighted and misguided initiative. While cap and trade has its flaws, there is little doubt that providing a market for carbon is the most cost-effective and efficient (as well as more classically liberal or conservative) approach to reducing carbon emissions.

I am extremely disappointed that Bill 4 will eliminate the cap-and- trade system in which Ontario was a global leader. Climate change can be addressed but only if we start now - waiting will make it much difficult to tackle and certainly more expensive.
