ORDERS OF THE DAY			ORDRE DU JOUR
Opposition Day			Jour de l'opposition
Mr. Hampton moved,			M. Hampton propose,
Be it resolved that in the opinion of this House the Government must act immediately to eliminate the severe hardship it has caused to customers of Great Lakes Power in Wawa and elsewhere as a direct result of electricity deregulation. The Government must deliver immediate assistance to compensate the affected customers in full for the extra transmission and distribution costs they have paid as a result of deregulation. This must nullify the order that the affected customers pay based on cost of service and ensure that from now on they pay the same regulated rate as they paid prior to deregulation. The Government must also implement the NDP Plan for Public Power and bring an end to electricity deregulation and privatization which is costing hundreds if not thousands of jobs in electricity-dependent sectors across Northern Ontario. This House supports the NDP Plan which includes ending privatization and closing the wholesale electricity market while regulating the rate for the electricity commodity on the basis of power-at-cost and pursuing an aggressive program of energy conservation and renewable power development. Premier of Ontario.
