Orders of the Day

Ordre du Jour

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mr. Conway moved,

M. Conway propose,

· Be it resolved that this House demands that the government immediately:

· Enact an "Ontario First" electricity policy that guarantees that Ontario electricity will be used to provide Ontarians with a reliable, affordable supply of power;

· Create a strong regulatory and genuinely competitive power generation environment that will produce a mix of electricity providers - public and private, large and small, and those providing green power - to assure a sufficient supply and eventually lead to lower rates;

· Stop the monopolization of the electricity retail sector by Hydro One;

· Introduce consumer protection and information programs to educate Ontarians about the changes to the province's electricity marketplace;

· Revoke Ontario Hydro's successor companies' exemption from Freedom of Information legislation; and

· Establish an all-party Select Committee to oversee Ontario's electricity policy, including the transition to a competition marketplace, the activities of Ontario Hydro's successor companies and conflicts of interest that exist as a result of the restructuring of Ontario's electricity market, including situations in which the government is in a conflict of interest and is favouring the interests of big business and other friends of the government.
