Please reconsider your plans to cancel environmental protection. I would like there to be an Ontario that is beautiful and sustainable for the rest of my life, and for the life of my son and his eventual children. Nothing is worth destroying our only home. Read more

I am horrified that this is being considered. We need to improve our carbon emissions, not revert to previous levels. We must do more, not less to reduce the impact that our cars and businesses and homes are having on our environment. This is what we owe our children and grandchildren. Read more

As an Ontarian deeply concerned about the effects of climate change I was disappointed by the lack of consultation about the repeal of the Climate Change Mitigation and Low-carbon Economy Act, 2016. Repealing the Act without public consultation is not acceptable. Read more

I'm disappointed in the decision to repeal legislation without a clear outline of replacement legislation. Ontario has a responsibility to manage the effects of climate change as a result of its action. The Cap and Trade program, while not perfect was at least a start. Read more

I would like to see the cap and trade program continue as well as a variety of other strategies to help reduce human caused global warming. For instance, we need to consider the energy expenditures of products from cradle to grave, we need to be encouraged to repair items (and be allowed to - e.g. Read more
