A climate of support. Dear Premier Wynne, As business leaders representing a broad cross-section of the economy, we recognize that climate change poses one of the greatest global challenges and threatens to roll back decades of development and prosperity. We also recognize that businesses, households and government have all contributed to this problem, and we will all have to be part of the solution. We support your government’s intention to take measures to address climate change by establishing a transparent economy-wide price on carbon. A great society is a society in which its business leaders think greatly of their functions. – Alfred North Whitehead, philosopher We share your conviction that the test of a successful climate policy is one that also enhances our competitiveness and long-term prosperity. We stand ready to provide support in any way we can. Sincerely, Lloyd Bryant,* Managing Director Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Co.
