I am an Ontario resident and I think this is the worst idea your government has had (and you've had some pretty bad ideas). I think it completely unacceptable to you remove Ontario's main tool for addressing climate change without putting in a replacement that is at least as effective.
Ontario and Canada needs to fight Global Warming. Its the greatest threat to mankind and moreover wreaking havoc in developing countries in the form of rising sea levels and flooding.

Dismantling a climate change law that was working is bad for our environment, bad for our health, and bad for business… A meaningful climate law needs science-based emissions budgets, a legal obligation to stay within those budgets, and credible, transparent progress reporting.

Cap and trade was a bold policy that was working to halt the damaging effects of climate change. If this government wishes to replace it, it must come up with something else. We cannot pretend climate change isn't happening.

As a tax paying Ontario resident and an active participant in this community, I vehemently stand against the Cap and Trade Cancellation Act being put forth by the Premier.

It is hard to understand the “Blind view “of our Provincial PM, denying a reality recognized as fragile and dangerous since the 1992 Rio summit (Brazil, Rio de Janeiro).

I believe that Cap and Trade is an important part of our legislation because of its environmental, economic, and social influences. Cancelling the Cap and Trade program is a step backwards. We can not afford to ignore climate change and our situation in regards to finite resources any longer.
Bill 3 is an outrageous step backwards for both our environment and our economy. Business owners should be particularly concerned, as cancelling cap and trade will inevitably lead to more arbitrary government regulations down the road.

If we cut back carbon emissions sharply as soon as possible, there is a chance that our grandchildren will be able to still breathe the air of this planet. I agree that Cap and Trade is not the best way to do that, although Ontario did stand to make a lot of money out of it.

The cancellation of the Cap and Trade Act is a travesty which will be sharply recalled when the next election takes place!
This callous disregard for our shared environment is shameful and egregious. All to support the fossil fuel industry which will soon be extinct like the dinosaurs.
I'm opposed to the proposed legislation. I consider it is or should illegal to have cancelled programs funded by the Cap and Trade program in advance of posting the proposed legislation for comment on the Environmental Registry.

With the effects of climate change becoming increasingly noticeable and damaging (take any of the recent hurricanes, tornadoes, wild fires etc. for example), I urge you not to cancel the Cap and Trade Act that is already in place.

I oppose the government’s proposal Bill 4: Cap and Trade Cancellation Act, 2018. The Bill does not live up to what an Ontario Government for the People, as described by Premier Ford, should be striving for.

I think Cap and Trade a effective way to reduce green house gases emission. It promote new Innovative technology and method to reduce emission. It leave to the market to decide what to do is the best and most cost-effective way to improve our environment. Therefore, I support Cap and Trade.

Climate change caused by the human generation of greenhouse gases is the greatest existential crisis facing mankind. Ontario must do its part to reduce emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.

It is clear that a legally binding target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is required NOW. There is also ample evidence (see ECO "2018 Greenhouse Gas Progress Report" pg 41 Table 1.1) that individuals - not industry are the largest contributors to carbon emissions.
