re Bill 165

I oppose the government’s intentions to:

Set the ‘revenue horizon’ or amortization period for new methane gas connections to residential properties, empowering the Ford government to overturn the important and progressive December 2023 Ontario Energy Board decision to reset this horizon from 40 years to 0 years.

Require the Ontario Energy Board to hold hearings on issues for which focused Board hearings are already underway or issues for which a Board decision has already been made.

Require the Ontario Energy Board to undo a decision to refuse a ‘Leave to Construct’ order (required to proceed with significant methane gas pipelines) or to remove any conditions that the Board has placed on a Leave to Construct order related to methane gas transmission and distribution lines.

Thank you for considering my comments.
