  • 1 April 28, 2017 the Honourable Glenn Thibeault Minister of Energy
    April 28, 2017 The Honourable Glenn Thibeault Minister of Energy 4th Floor, Hearst Block 900 Bay Street Toronto, Ontario M7A 2E1 Via: [email protected] Re: Supporting Oxford County in the next Long-Term Energy Plan Dear Minister Thibeault, We write to ask you to recognize and support Oxford County’s commitment to fight climate change by going 100% renewable in the next Long-Term Energy Plan (LTEP). Specifically, we ask you instruct the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) and Hydro-One to support Oxford County’s proposed Virtual Net Metering (VNM) demonstration project in the LTEP and affirm your intention to move forward with VNM and third party ownership within the province’s net metering regulation. Oxford County Council has approved investing up to $ 2.5 million in solar installations in its 2017 Business Plan and Budget. On April 12th 2017, Council supported in principle the development of VNM in Oxford County at its landfill facility. The proposed 0.9 MW solar facility would offset demand from municipally-owned facilities at other locations. It would be a step towards Oxford County’s goal of going 100% renewable to fight climate change. With the end of the Feed-In Tariff (FIT) and microFIT programs in 2017, we feel supporting and expediting Oxford County’s municipal VNM demonstration project is vital to ensuring the sustainability of the solar industry and community power in Ontario. In our view, community investment and participation in our energy system is essential for Ontario to successfully transition to a low-carbon society. As witnessed in many American states, VNM has enabled the growth of community-owned solar facilities.

  • Queen's Park Notes
    Queen’s Park notes FOLLOW US @Mobilepk For the week of April 18–22, 2016 ONTARIO SUPERIOR COURT RULES BILL 115 VIOLATED CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS In a major victory for Canada’s labour movement, Justice Thomas R. Lederer of the Ontario Superior Court ruled that Bill 115, Putting Students First Act, violated collective bargaining rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The controversial bill was enacted in 2012 and portrayed by the Ontario Liberals as necessary to help right the province’s economic situation. Former Premier Dalton McGuinty and his Education Minister, Laurel Broten, insisted at the time that Bill 115 was within the province’s constitutional prerogative. But, Justice Lederer disagreed saying, “The problem with what took place is with the process, not the end result. It is possible that had the process been one that properly respected the associational rights of the unions, the fiscal and economic impacts of the result would have been the same or similar to those that occurred. In response to Justice Lederer’s decision OSSTF/ FEESO President Paul Elliott said, “We are pleased that the Court has reconfirmed the importance of free, fair and meaningful collective bargaining.” In his judgement, Justice Lederer directed the government and unions to find a remedy. If they are unable to, they may ask him for his opinion. The day after the ruling, NDP Leader Andrea Horwath (Hamilton-Centre) asked Premier Kathleen Wynne, “My next question is also for the Premier. Courts have ruled that the Liberal government violated the Charter of Rights and Freedoms with Bill 115.

    November 2, 2016 Hon. Glenn Thibeault, Minister Ministry of Energy 4th Floor, Hearst Block 900 Bay Street Toronto, ON M7A 2E1 Dear Minister Thibeault: We are inspired to write by the attached excerpt from the Discussion Guide to Ontario’s Long- term Energy Plan consultation currently underway. Our partnership represents the interests of the farming and rural communities across Ontario. We have been seeking a real public investment in natural gas infrastructure since before your government announced the $200 million Natural Gas Access Loan program and the $30 million Natural Gas Economic Development Grant. We appreciate that these programs acknowledge that installing natural gas in rural Ontario is important and worth pursuing. Likewise, the LTEP discussion guide provides very sound reasons why natural gas would be a tremendous stimulus for our rural economy. As the discussion paper indicates natural gas is less costly, will attract new industry and will make commercial transportation more affordable. The discussion paper goes on to note that: “In the 2013 LTEP, Ontario committed to working with natural gas distributors and municipalities to pursue options for expanding natural gas pipelines to more communities in rural and northern Ontario.” Minister, because of the tremendous advantages of natural gas access, it is now time to realize on this commitment and make a real investment in natural gas for our farms, rural businesses and communities. To be blunt, rural Ontario is not interested in loans to try to secure vital infrastructure. That program, now three years in design, is simply inadequate. The action we seek is for a real public investment in rural Ontario to enable access to natural gas.
