I STRONGLY recommend that the government NOT proceed with its plan to scrap the cap and trade policy. Can we, for once, do something RIGHT for our environment?
I do not think a Cap and Trade is the right approach to carbon emissions (prefer a carbon tax). However, I think your act is irresponsible by removing it with no plan to actually put a price on carbon emissions.

By cancelling Ontario's cap-and-trade plan, the Ontario government is making it clear that it is not taking climate action, and is effectively withdrawing from Canada's national climate change plan without a plan of their own. Please keep the system in place or submit a better one
As a citizen of Ontario, I firmly believe that the government of this province ought to prioritize a climate plan that is consistent with the Paris climate agreement targets. Climate denial and inaction have enormous costs for our economy, our health, and our environment.

Instead of implementing a carbon tax or cap and trade, both producers and importers of hydrocarbon fuels should be required to invest a specific amount into green energy programs and firms for every gallon of the hydrocarbon fuel that has been producer or imported.
Without our environment we will die. The science exsists, pay attention and have a new plan before dismantling the one in place. The PC's have acknowledged people caused climate change is real, do something fact based, not because some lobbyist wants it.
This act is regressive and I do not support it. The science behind climate change is 25-years old. The past collaboration with Quebec and California was important and productive. Ford's efforts to avoid costs of cap-and-trade are political and environmentally short sighted.

As a PhD student in Environmental Studies, and a lifelong resident of Toronto, I am flabbergasted at the blatant anti-environmental mandate of the Ford government.

Thank you for representing Ontarians in this matter. I fully support any action required to implement this change. Ontario's sovereignty should not be trampled by a Fed that only wants to virtue signal. Especially when that feel good pat on the back action hurts Canadians.
I do not agree with the Government's proposed Bill 4, Cap and Trade Cancellation Act, 2018. Climate Change is an important issue for the residents of Ontario and the Government is wrong to cancel the program that we have in place.
Cancelling the cap and trade program is about the worst possible thing that the Ford government could do with respect to mitigating climate impacts.

The market-based cap and trade system that Ontario established with Quebec and California is effective because it provides financial incentives for businesses to reduce their carbon footprint.

Passing the Cap and Trade Cancellation ACT 2018, and repealing the Climate Change Mitigation and low-carbon Economy Act 2016 (ccmlea), is short-sightedly foolish.
Climate change is real, and we had FINALLY started to do something about it. We did not have a carbon tax, but now we will.

The method for which the current programs are being repealed without a plan to address the environmental impact of the decision is detrimental to the environment as well as economy of Ontario.
Don't scrap the carbon pricing plans! We need to focus on the long-term health of our planet and therefore our nation. Doing otherwise is shortsighted and has been proven foolish time and time again.
Let's be safe rather than sorry.
Can we please just have cap and trade and move on? A future government is going to re-enact this, but Ontario is going to miss out from the growth potential from the green economy in the mean time.

I am gravely concerned that the current government has identified climate change (and programs associated with it) to be a party-based issue. It is not. There is no other issue more concerning and in need of immediate and decisive action that climate change.
