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.
