I am writing to urge you to reject the cap and trade cancellation act. The action on climate change by the previous government, while by no means perfect, is our best chance for the environment and for long-term sustainability for our children's future. Do keep a price on carbon. Read more

The provincial government is acting in a completely irresponsible way in cancelling the carbon emissions cap-and-trade program. This program put a price on carbon, which is a critical step in reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and slowing down the worst effects of climate change. Read more

Bill 4, Cap and Trade Cancellation Act 2018 should be withdrawn. In this age of climate change and species extinctions and endangerment due to the harm we are causing, cancelling this program without a better program to replace it is absolutely wrong. Read more

I think the government should reinstate the cp and trade program. they shouldn't have canceled it. theres too much at stake. we need find ways to cut our emissions. cap and trade works well for that. it won't really save the government any money with all the lawsuits. Read more

The attempted commencement of this repealing Act disheartens and embarrasses me. For a moment in time Ontario was looked at as a leader and as a jurisdiction from which others could take inspiration on the climate change front. With the proposal of this Act it is clear that those days are over. Read more

I particularly object to the timing of this bill. Cancelling participation in the cap and trade program should not be done until the Progressive Conservative have in place a viable alternative plan to reduce Ontario’s greenhouse emissions. Read more

Ford's decision to opt out of the Cap & Trade program (CTP) was in my view short-sighted and ill-advised. By all accounts this program was successful in generating significant revenue that was used to support initiatives to reduce the carbon footprint of individuals, industry and businesses. Read more

I am strongly opposed to this proposal. Reinstitute the climate change plan and programs that were in place when this government took power: cap and trade; development of green energy industry; assistance to citizens to reduce energy consumption. Read more
