While the cap and trade program was never perfect it was something. Cancelling it without an alternative plan would be irresponsible. With only a little more the decade to change our ways before its too late this is not the time to be cancelling green programs.

Canacelling this program is a short sighted waste of money. Why does Doug Ford give no thought to the future of our planet. Why does he not believe science. If he were sick would he do to a doctor, or just look on Facebook?
I don't agree with this government's plan to cancel the Cap and Trade Act.
Bill 4 ignores the urgency of climate change, it gives little detail about a replacement plan and most importantly, it removes pollution pricing which is the only effective tool to reduce pollution.
Climate change is occurring. We are witnessing weather and environmental changes that can only be attributed to climate change. It is our obligation for this and future generations to mitigate its effects and undertake adaptation actions as rapidly as possible

I am not in favour of cancelling the previous government's Cap & Trade program until the present government proposes an alternative program that can be proven, with evidence subject to public consultations and public scrutiny, to produce superior results at lower cost.

I'm a citizen and voter who is angry about the cancellation of the cap and trade program. The Government of Ontario is responsible for the long-term well being of its citizens, and climate change threatens our safety.

Mr. Ford,
We are a family of three with a five year old. It's deeply concerning for us with the current issue of climate change an global warming for our daughters future.
I know you feel economy and jobs are important but what's the point of living if there is no where to live safely.

Why do certain people acknowledge that we can NOT survive without clean air and water?
Money and power will not keep us alive.
We must act NOW to have a viable future.

This is the opposite of what should be happening. Repealing an act that helps to protect our environment serves no purpose but to aide in allowing companies to spend less and destroy our planet.

With the mounting body of evidence surrounding global warming, not to mention the latest report issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we can no longer dispute the fact that climate change is the most dire challenge facing our society today.

There is so much NON_BIASED evidence about human causing global warming that repealing cap and trade without simultaneously coming up with better anti global warming legislation is doing the citizens of Ontario (and the world) permanent harm that no trivial tax cuts will alleviate.

The Climate Mitigation Act and the Low-carbon Economy Act, 2016 are essential for maintaining Ontario's natural and agricultural stability. I would be personally upset if this proposal were to go through.
We need every means possible to price carbon and reduce fossil fuel emissions at a rate of 5% per year for the next 20 years, at a minimum. Cap and Trade is one method that has some efficacy, and a tax on carbon at the source is even better. But both are needed.
