It distresses me that our newly elected leaders are not taking climate change more seriously in their decision making. I feel we might not be able to prevent it any more, but there are definitely steps we can take to mitigate the impacts.

I find the approach of cancelling the cap and trade program, without analyzing and disclosing costs, to be troubling. I would much prefer to see some discussion and disclosure of costs and benefits that transitioning from cap and trade to federal carbon tax.

Don't repeal then come up with replacement, repeal and replace immediately. Understand that cap and trade isn't perfect but we can't go from something to nothing, we should go from something to something else.
At this time, especially as we have just had a UN report citing the urgency of the need to address climate change it is irresponsible for the government of Doug Ford to cancel the existing carbon tax measures that were put in place by the previous government.

The Ontario government needs to understand the imminent threat that climate change poses to us and future generations. I feel that the government is not taking this issue seriously, and has a flippant, disrespectful attitude toward people that care about the environment.

In a free market system, companies, industry and individuals decide on what goods, services and raw materials they need to buy, and how through investments they can improve their processes and technology to reduce their costs.

To move this act forward would be unabashedly presumptuous at the moment. The lack of proper research on the impact of the Cap and Trade policy does not mean that the practice is unhelpful in the protection of the environment.

I want Ontario to put a price on pollution, making polluters pay for their emissions and returning the revenues to the pockets of Ontarians so they can lower their carbon footprint.
I want legally binding emissions targets in line with our obligations to the Paris Climate Agreement.

Dear Sir / Madam:

According to the IPCC immediate action on reducing carbon emissions is necessary. The cancellation of cap and trade in Ontario leaves the province without an immediate plan. There was and still is substantial revenue to support initiatives to get Ontario less dependent on fossil fuels.

The proposal to cancel the Cap and Trade program does not make any sense whatsoever. The reason why the current cap and trade legislation is in place is to provide a means to address climate change by providing incentives to industry to reduce emissions.

I am completely opposed to the cancellation of the cap and trade program, and the manner in which it was decided. Carbon pricing is essential to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, to meet our commitments under the Paris climate accord, and to reduce our contribution to climate change.

I believe the present Cap and Trade program was benefiting companies, adding to the work force, improving our schools and helping homeowners improve their homes by improving windows, doors, new energy efficient furnaces. It also allowed consumers to look at purchasing electric vehicles.

The devestating effects of climate change that we are already starting to see, and will continue to see in the future should be the most important subject we address as of right now. We need to move forward with positive and effective changes. If we do not push for this...

Hello
Just this week the Nobel prize in economics went to Nordhaus and Romer for their work on climate change mitigation and economics. They advocate carbon pricing. What does this tell you?

The repeal of the original act is a short-sighted action designed only to satisfy PC party supporters. The Cap and Trade program is exactly the system that is needed to reduce the use of fossil fuels in Ontario. The system is a success in other jurisdictions and would work in Ontario.

I want a real climate change plan to reduce emissions, help people save energy and create jobs in the $26 trillion clean economy. I want a clean future for my children. I want a voice for the voiceless. The UN says that we'll be experience climate change affects as early as 2030.
