I object to the proposed legislation to limit the participation of foreign jurisdictions in Ontario’s electricity sector (i.e., specifically as it relates to foreign equipment, systems, services, facilities or technologies). Please withdraw this proposed restriction.

If passed,this measure would enable the government to ban all parts of energy projects that come from abroad, especially China. China makes the majority of solar panels (over 80 per cent), wind turbines (around 60 per cent) and control systems in the world.
The government is exploiting U.S. threats to push an ideological agenda that could effectively ban solar energy in Ontario—driving up electricity bills and increasing pollution. This Act gives them the power to arbitrarily ban Chinese components in energy projects, shutting the door on clean, affordable energy just when Ontario needs it the most.”
If passed, Bill 5, will: keep Ontario dependent on imported fracked gas from the U.S. by killing homegrown renewable energy. It would enable the government to ban all parts of energy projects that come from abroad, especially China. China makes the majority of solar panels (over 80 per cent), wind turbines (around 60 per cent) and control systems in the world. If enacted, this will likely end solar power installation in Ontario and deprive Ontarians access to the cleanest source of new electricity available.
