Premier Kathleen Wynne is defending the Liberal government's decision to introduce a cap-and-trade program next year to combat climate change, calling Ontarians "very bad actors" when it comes to creating greenhouse gases.
Wynne admits Ontario led the way in fighting climate change by shutting down its coal-fired electrical generation stations, but said the province must do more even though it produces only fraction of the world's greenhouse gas emissions.
"Even though we're a small percentage overall of the global greenhouse gas emissions, we're very bad actors in terms of our per capita creation of emissions," she told the Niagara Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday.
