The submission by the Green Party of Ontario succinctly gives the most important reasons why Bill 4 should NOT be passed. It's measures would set back future economic opportunities for Ontario industries and the health of all current generations of Ontarians as well as future generations.

To the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks,
Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to this important consultation on the future of Ontario’s climate plan.

Has anyone in this government reviewed the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Report? Or any of the volumes of credible science on climate change that are available?

The proposal to opt out of the cap and trade program is infuriating, and makes clear that the current government does not care about the future of this province or its youth.

I am not an environmentalist. I have not always been environmentally conscious, nor have I taken any steps to reduce my carbon footprint.
This has changed since the current government has decided to try to save some money by cancelling any environmentally friendly policies.

Bill 4 is totally unacceptable. It eliminates the only plan that Ontario has to address the urgency of the climate crisis. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports that we are dangerously close to crossing the catastrophic 1.5C tipping point that would lead to runaway climate change.

Climate change is a reality. We must take action to preserve the Earth as much as possible from the impact of human activity. The evidence is clear. We already have climate refugees and evidence of melting glaciers, rising sea levels, more ferocious storms.

Please do not pass Bill4. People who voted for Premier Ford did not expect his party to demolish all our efforts over years to reduce the effects of climate change - we wanted them and gladly paid for them (including wind farms). Huge amounts of money have been wasted.
We want:

I can't believe that we are considering repealing climate change legislation instead of doubling down. This is an existential threat that is one of the key factors for my voting decisions. I don't understand how we are going to encourage improved performance without this legislation.
I oppose the repeal of the cap and trade system. Very irresponsible and will burden the future generations with negative realities we cannot even imagine. Betrayal of voters and future citizens of Ontario
Repeal the Climate Change Mitigation and Low-carbon Economy Act, 2016? Absurd. We need more action to control climate change and the government taking action towards and not against it is an essential step.

We really need some sort of carbon tax! The amount of carbon we are using is insane! I’m just as guilty as the rest, I drive trucks for work and heat my house with oil!

According to the New York Times: "INCHEON, South Korea — A landmark report from the United Nations’ scientific panel on climate change paints a far more dire picture of the immediate consequences of climate change than previously thought and says that avoiding the damage requires transforming the wo

Premier Ford,
Having just read the news about (1) another extreme weather in Florida, and (2) the dire and urgent warning of the world’s climate scientists that climate targets need to be increased to limit it to 0.5% by 2030 —-
Do NOT proceed with the plan to scrap Cap &Trade !!

To my eye, this looks like disastrous, short-term thinking. The province – and the world – need strong leadership to do the right things for the future, so that we and our children and grandchildren have a future to look forward to.

Bill 4 should not be passed. The Cap and Trade program was holding the big industries responsible for the emissions that they are creating and the resultant climate change.

I am extremely concerned about the absurd reluctance of politicians to do what the market itself will never do, which is to impose a price on carbon. We need to pay this price, but we are fixing our grandkids and their kids to do it. Shame on us. We must impose that price, yesterday.
