I disagree with cancelling the cap and trade act
We as a province need to plan for the future - climate change is real and happening. Keep our climate investments in Ontario and don't rely on the Federal system.
Climate change is the most important issue facing us today. I believe the Ontario government should reinstate Cap and Trade. The Economist magazine calls it "the most market-friendly way to manage carbon emissions." A carbon tax might be even more effective, though less market -friendly.

The only market-based way to reduce greenhouse gases is a price on carbon, either a direct tax or a cap-and-trade system. In both cases, the government can return the income from these to the people, so it is not a “tax grab”.

I'm extremely concerned for the future of the province if Cap and Trade is removed and not replaced with another system. Polluting needs to cost something. Short term economic gain will lead to longterm costs and damage to the natural environment.

The environment should be one of Ontario's biggest priorities right now. The health of our planet matters more than any money. Climate change is real and it is happening now.

Collapsing the Cap and Trade climate action plan without replacing it with another puts our environment, health, economy, and future at risk. We must be protected and this is a failure to protect us.

Cancelling Ontario's Cap and Trade system is shortsighted and bad policy. Multiple jurisdictions have shown that you can use a cap and trade system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions without harming the economy. Replacing Cap and Trade with a carbon tax would be worse for consumers and businesses.

Repealing the current plan in favour of the promise of a future plan is disrespectful to current and future generations and dangerously negligent.
A healthy climate is our greatest asset -- a failure to properly recognize and account for that asset is the height of fiscal irresponsibility.
All pundits and economists (and environmentalists) are stating that eliminating cap and trade would be disasterous for Ontario. Please do not move ahead and do this out of spite or stupidity.
It is extremely irresponsible, both fiscally and environmentally, to continue kicking the can down the road on the issue of climate change mitigation. The do-nothing approach of all levels of government when under the control of climate-denying politicians is shameful.

Repealing the Climate change act is an awful idea; it takes our province backwards. Climate change is adversely effecting everyone's quality of life already and it will only continue to get worse unless action is taken. Bill 4, Cap and Trade Cancellation Act, 2018 must NOT go forward.
I doubt very much whether anyone in the new Ford administration has even read the Cap & Trade legislation or the Ontario 5 Year Climate Change Action Plan.

Ontario is warming faster than the global average due to the reduced effect of the jet stream and polar ice cap melting. In the 18 months of Cap and Trade in Ontario, progress was made.

Cap & Trade was the revenue generator for a larger initiative called the Ontario 5 Year Climate Change Action Plan. Included in the plan was the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and the Green Investment Bank.

I have reviewed the Environmental Commissioners of Ontario's report released today Sept 25, 2018. I am deeply concerned about the current governments approach to climate change.
