To the Ontario Legislature,

Whereas the Government of Ontario with its privatization and deregulation of Ontario's electricity system has led to rates that have more than doubled for consumers; and

Whereas privatization has never reduced the cost of any goods or services to the consuming public; and

Whereas electricity deregulation in California has led to blackouts and sky high rates; and

Whereas the sale of our electricity production company has yielded absolutely no net benefit to the Ontario consumer

Whereas Ontario needs a system of public power that will ensure a fair, stable rate;

Therefore let it be resolved that the undersigned call on the Ontario government to reverse electricity deregulation and privatization and bring in an accountable system of electricity delivery.

    • These hydro bills are outragous. How do expect people living on a disability pensions to stay in their houses with the rising cost of gas and hydro.

    • If It Aint Broke, Why fix it. Something of this magnitude should have gone to a referendum in the Province. How dare the P.C.s make a decision like this on our behalf. We are lucky to be rid of Mike Harris.
