I am writing to indicate my disagreement with the proposed changes. The cap and trade program has been shown to provide environmental and financial benefits to citizens of Ontario. The new bill proposes to dismantle the program but does not provide a plan to replace it.

The best policy instrument available to governments to reduce greenhouse gases is to put a price on carbon pollution. It's pretty obvious that a price on carbon pollution will result in people and companies looking for less expensive sources of energy.

The best market-based way to reduce greenhouse gases is a price on carbon, either a direct tax or a cap-and-trade system. In both cases, the government can return the income it earns to the people, so it is not a “tax grab”.

I am commenting that I am heartsick at the cancellation of the Cap and Trade policy that was in effect in Ontario until the Conservatives took power. In this time of existential climate crisis I cannot believe our government is moving away from responsible climate stewardship.

Please do not repeal the Climate Change Mitigation and Low-carbon Economy Act. The cap and trade program is a necessary tool for pricing carbon pollution and effectively mitigating climate risk. The province needs to be at the forefront of climate action.

The government rebate that caused me to insulate the walls in my old home have significantly cut down the usage of my furnace. We must not stop upgrading old homes.

As a naturalist in Central Ontario, I see the effects of climate change every day: new warm-climate species like opossums becoming established here, earlier springs and later falls, a huge increase in invasive species, poison ivy and ragweed (all of which thrive in the higher CO2 levels in the atmos

It is true that the cap and trade system is not the best way to limit GHG emissions - although Ontario did reduce its emissions by 15% over the last decade thanks to that system and other parts of the LIberal Green plan.

Climate change is the most important issue facing our planet and our species. This issue transcends our manufactured differences which are unfortunately dominating today's political discourse.
