Hamilton: "Last fall, the province signed deals with producers of renewable energy, such as wind power, to generate nearly 400 megawatts of clean power by 2007.
Signing deals with private operators only means Ontarians will be paying at least 20 per cent more for electricity, said New Democrat Leader Howard Hampton.
Rates have gone up as much as 34 per cent since the Liberals came to office in 2003, Hampton claimed.
'How much more, premier, will hydro ratepayers in the province have to pay in order that the new private generating companies that you're so fond of will have money to be made in Ontario?'' Hampton asked in the legislature.
The Liberals pledged during the 2003 election to keep new generation in public, not private, hands, he argued. "
