To whom it may concern,

Ensuring a diverse electricity supply mix is vital towards maintaining a strong electricity system that will meet the demands of today and well into the future. It is equally important to ensure a strong reliable base-load is maintained to support a healthy, well functioning, system. With the increasing concern and focus on climate change one of the best methods to reducing greenhouse gas emission is through a cheap, low carbon emitting, clean energy source, Nuclear Power. Bruce Power has proven that it is a cheap, safe, low carbon emitting energy source. Through safe and reliable operation, Bruce Power has contributed to reducing carbon emissions in Ontario by providing the makeup energy required to allow coal fired plants to be shut down. But, not only does Bruce Power provide safe, clean reliable energy, it does so by producing one of the lowest cost forms of energy than most all other sources, Nuclear Power. This is most important as Ontarians are seeing first hand how skyrocketing electricity prices have recently been a major focus for Ontario. The capability to provide low cost, clean, reliable energy must be maintained and embraced well into the future to ensure energy is kept affordable for all.

With these critical points in mind, I support the full operation of Bruce Power's 8 operating units to 2064. This will provide a strong basis for a long-term energy plan that promotes clean, reliable, affordable electricity for all Ontarians well into the future.
