<div><div id="ydpe0de8cf0yiv7688908308"><div dir="ltr"><div>Dear Colleagues,</div><div><br></div><div>I wanted to send along an opportunity for any groups, large or small, working in Ontario to sign on to the attached letter we've written to Ontario MPs. </div><div><br></div><div>This letter calls on the federal government to reject the Ontario government's <a href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/emissions-performance-standards-program" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">weak proposed system</a> to price industrial pollution. We are reminding MPs in Ontario that they were recently elected on a promise to strengthen climate action, not weaken it.
</div><div><br></div><div>There is some urgency on this issue since we expect a decision from the federal government on this any day now. <b>Please sign on by replying to this email by end of day on Monday, February 3rd. </b> <br></div><div><br></div><div><u>Background</u>: </div><div><br></div><div>The federal government's Output-Based Pricing System (OBPS) for large industrial polluters is already operating in Ontario - it's essentially the less exciting sibling to the carbon price for consumers on fuels, etc. Replacing the federal OBPS with Ontario's proposed system will result in higher greenhouse gas emissions at a critical time for climate action. But Ontario needs federal approval, so MPs can and should insist on rejecting this proposal.</div><div><br></div><a href="https://www.pembina.org/pub/carbon-emissions-who-makes-big-polluters-pay" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">You can find more information on the specifics in this report</a>. <div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="ydpe0de8cf0yiv7688908308gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><p style="margin-bottom:12pt;"><b style="color:black;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:9.5pt;">Sarah Buchanan<br></b><font color="#000000" face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;">Clean Economy Program Manager</span></font><font face="Times New Roman, serif"><span style="font-size:12.6667px;"><br><img src="https://environmentaldefence.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/ED-LOGO-NO-TAGLINE-FINAL-50-per-cent.png" data-inlineimagemanipulating="true" data-id="1580698379037"><br></span></font><font color="#000000" face="Verdana, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:8pt;">116 Spadina Avenue, Suite 300, Toronto, Ontario, M5V 2K6<br></span></font><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;color:black;">Tel: 416.323.9521 x244</span><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size:8pt;"> </span><font color="#000000" style="background-color: inherit;"><span style="font-size:8pt;">| </span></font><a href="https://environmentaldefence.ca/" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-size:8pt;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">environmentaldefence.ca</a><br></span><span style="color:black;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:8pt;">TW: </span><a href="http://twitter.com/#!/envirodefence" style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:8pt;color:rgb(17,85,204);" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue;">@envirodefence</span></a><span style="color:black;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:8pt;"> | FB: </span><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:8pt;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/EnvironmentalDefenceCanada" style="color:rgb(17,85,204);font-size:8pt;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">EnvironmentalDefenceCanada</a><br></span><span style="font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;font-size:8pt;"><br><b>Defending clean water, a safe climate and healthy communities.<br></b></span><b><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Verdana, sans-serif;color:rgb(31,73,125);">Our work would not be possible without you.
