QUEEN’S PARK — MPP Mike Schreiner released the following statement in response to the passage of the Ontario government’s bill 165.
“Faced with a choice between the people of Ontario and fossil giant Enbridge, the government chose Enbridge.
Today, as wildfire smoke from Alberta and BC settles over southern Ontario, this government is passing legislation to keep Ontarians hooked on costly fossil gas for decades to come. It’s a disgrace.
Once again, I call on the government to respect the OEB’s independent decision to protect consumers, repeal its lousy legislation and stop using ratepayer dollars to subsidize fossil giants.”
