<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Environmental Defence is better organizing their opposition to Doug Ford and all his regressive policies under the “Ontario - Not For Sale” banner. They are pulling together a coalition of community groups to not only opposite all the Conservative
cuts but also to ensure that things get properly restored/addressed after the next election. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">They are wondering if GREN would like to join their Not For Sale e-mail list and we will be notified when things like this industrial pollution bill below comes up.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I think that we should get our group on the list to at least receive the e-mails and we can always decide our involvement with each issue. We should also indicate if we would like to sign onto their letter below.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Cheers,</div>
<div class="">Kevin.<br class="">

<div class="">Dear Colleagues,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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 class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">This letter calls on the federal government to reject the Ontario government's
<a href="https://www.ontario.ca/page/emissions-performance-standards-program" class="">
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 class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">There is some urgency on this issue since we expect a decision from the federal government on this any day now.
<b class="">Please sign on by replying to this email by end of day on Monday, February 3rd. </b> <br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class=""><u class="">Background</u>: </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">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 class=""><br class="">
</div>
<a href="https://www.pembina.org/pub/carbon-emissions-who-makes-big-polluters-pay" class="">You can find more information on the specifics in this report</a>.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks,</div>
