"The Forum will provide a platform for industry to share their views on carbon strategies and also get perspectives from experienced participants from Quebec and California."
The Honourable Glen Murray, Minister of the Environment and Climate Change, Government of Ontario will provide the opening keynote presentation on April 26. "Ontario's cap and trade program is an effective and affordable way to lower greenhouse gas emissions while giving businesses certainty and maximum flexibility in choosing their compliance path," commented Minister Murray. "Our approach is opening a wealth of opportunities for Ontario businesses in the cleantech sector, and others who want to create projects to offset carbon emissions. As Ontario prepares for its first cap and trade auction in March, I look forward to participating in Canadian Clean Energy Conferences' Cap and Trade Forum in April to talk about the program and the opportunities it brings."
