Everyone has heard about the devastating effects of climate change but few of us have experienced them YET which is perhaps why some people think getting rid of cap and trade policy and lowering the cost of gas is a good thing.

So what are this government plans to reduce emissions?
Why wouldn’t you hold emitteters financially responsible for what they create?
For all our sakes, for the sake of our children,
PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE A PLAN .
We are running out of time to save the planet from the catastrophic impacts of climate change. Cap and trade is necessary to move forward toward a sustainable future. The IPCC report and the recent Nobel Prize winning work on climate change show the problem and the solution.

Cap and trade is one of the only ways to hold organizations responsible for the negative externalities they create. I.e., carbon emissions. This system is an important “check” to entice organizations to reduce their effects on the environment and in turn climate change.

Global climate scientists have given us an ultimatum - we have 12 years to make drastic changes to our carbon and GHG emissions before we pass the 2C threshhold and the world will be forever changed for the worse. You represent us, DO SOMETHING. You HAVE TO!
Many years of preparation went into the bill. I support reducing carbon emissions. Studies show carbon taxes do reduce future emissions. Please listen to the people. We want change for a cleaner global environment.

We need to help people save energy and create jobs in the $26 trillion clean economy.
We must make polluters pay for their emissions and return those revenues to Ontarians.
We must have legally binding emissions targets in line with our obligations to the Paris Climate Agreement.

Hi, we need to do all we can to protect the environment and reduce carbon emissions. Scientists are now saying we only have until 2030 only 21 years to do something before we see permanent climate changes. We have the science and we have the technology, now we need the government to get on board.

Carbon Pricing is the only method that will put a cost on the largest externality that is negatively impacting our environment on a GLOBAL scale - green house gases. Polluter pays is a the only sustainable model.

Please accept the following as my official comments on Bill 4, Cap and Trade Cancellation Act, 2018, posted for consultation as ERO 013-3738. I am writing because climate change has happened, is happening, and will continue to happen, and we need to act now.

I strongly oppose this Act. Climate change inaction is costly, full stop. What is the government's plan to act on climate change? You are putting our lives, not to mention our economy, in danger--the risk is clear, and inaction is willful neglect.

Please keep cap and trade in place until a suitable replacement is put forward. Then intelligently wind this down while ramping up the replacement scheme, whatever it may be. Avoid lawsuits and going to court over cancelled contracts. Keep momentum in reducing GreeHouse Gases. Be responsible.
Given the recent IPCC report, cancelling cap and trade us reckless and dangerous. Ontario should be a leader in green energy—this will be a sector of economic growth as we have to grapple with the realities of climate change. Please do not go ahead with this repeal.
The need for strong policies to reduce carbon emissions is urgent. We cannot delay and quibble about details. We need to act now or there won't be a habitable world for our children and grandchildren.
