I agree with Ontario's current proposal to cancel and eliminate the environmental carbon pricing instruments in the form of the "cap-and-trade" regime and any related legislation, regulations, inter alia. Consider abolishing, or amending suitably, the Ontario Environmental Bill of Rights.

I strongly oppose Bill 4 that is cancelling Cap and Trade as a tool to limit carbon emissions. Cap and Trade is a "Stick and Carrot" tool that is effective in showing companies that there is a consequence to producing too much carbon and a reward for reducing emissions.

I am overwhelmingly concerned with the proposal to cancel Ontario's cap-and-trade system, which I believe is absolutely essential for responding to climate change and helping move society toward a greener future.

I am concerned that getting rid of the Liberal government's cap-and-trade program seems more important than articulating a clear plan that will deal more effectively with greenhouse gas emissions.

Let's keep cap and trade. It really works and we need it
Stop wasting public resources fighting the federal government where you are clearly wrong. Just use the existing plan.

Climate Change is the biggest issue affecting Ontarians, let alone the world. We need to keep the Cap and Trade legislation because it is effective at reducing greenhouse gas production in Ontario. At the very least there must be some form of carbon pricing.

Before you get rid of Cap and Trade, you should have a plan in place to replace it. You should not be spending OUR money on lawyers to fight the federal government's carbon tax legislation. Most lawyers think you will lose and waste our money.

1. The Ontario government must not terminate the current cap and trade system without having a credible carbon tax system ready to replace it.
2. The Ontario government must not cancel emissions reduction programs related to cap and trade tax already collected

Before anything is dismantled, I think the smartest (and safest) thing to do is first establish a much better program to replace the current one. To not have a strong protective environment plan in place is irresponsible, negligent, and frankly the worst course of (in) action.

Wait, so it will both remove the cap and trade program, a program meant to encourage companies to mitigate their carbon footprint through market force influence, AND make it so people couldn't take action against this new Act? Seems a bit much, eh?

This bill 4 lacks hindsight, insight, and foresight.
It is negligent to introduce a bill that cancels something without having something better ready to present in it's place.

A few Provinces already have carbon taxes or carbon levies in place right now. Will the Province of Ontario's new climate change plan be similar to that of some of the other Province?
I am writing to oppose the cancellation of the Cap and Trade Program in Ontario and hence oppose the Bill 4, The Cap and Trade Cancellation Act.

I realize this was a political maneuver but in terms of sound and basic economic principles, cap and trade (which is not a tax as was continually promoted), is a beneficial tool and market for our economy, clearly from a carbon reduction standpoint to improve our population's health and risk to impa

The cancellation of the Cap and Trade system is a shortsighted view and is being pushed through while misinforming the people by calling it a tax. The future higher costs you are now imposing upon us is not helping the people of Ontario and goes against what you say you stand for.
I am not in favour of the cancellation of the Cap and Trade at all!!! The money from the polluters was actually helping people afford energy efficient retrofits, driving the economy, and reducing greenhouse gases.
