Leading environmental groups have filed a lawsuit against the Ontario government over the cancellation of the province's cap-and-trade program. The suit aims to halt the regulation, approved in July, which calls for the end of the province's cap-and-trade program. The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in Ontario Superior Court, asks the court to quash the regulation. Andrew Brander, a spokesperson for Environment Minister Rod Phillips, maintained the province "extensively" consulted with the people of Ontario about rescinding the cap-and-trade program, calling it "expensive and ineffective." Province said move would save families moneyScrapping cap-and-trade was one of Ford's key promises during the spring election campaign.
