Jour de l'opposition

Mr. Brown moved,

M. Brown propose,

Whereas, Ontario has amongst the highest hydro rates in North America; whereas, electricity prices are expected to rise again on November 1st; whereas, the Liberal government have created the hydro crisis by signing lucrative contracts for unnecessary energy; whereas Liberal mismanagement has left Ontario's electricity system unaffordable and unreliable; whereas, the proposed hydro rebate is merely a band-aid solution; and, whereas, the rebate is simply too little and too late; therefore, the Legislative Assembly calls on the Liberal government to: stop signing contracts for energy that the province will sell at a loss; and stop selling any further shares in Hydro One.

Debate arose and after some time,

Il s’élève un débat et après quelque temps,
