Ontario Hansard - 16-September2009

Mr. Peter Tabuns: Premier, your minister speaks about the need for investment in conservation and renewable power, but when it comes down to the crunch, in an area where the air quality is overtaxed, we don't have a plan for substantial investment in renewable power or conservation. What we do have is people who are breathing air that is already over-polluted by your standards.

Why is your government not bringing forward a plan to deal with the power demand in that area with an aggressive conservation and renewable plan? Why aren't you doing that?

The Speaker (Hon. Steve Peters): Supplementary?
