The Below clip was taken from the Ontario Auditor General's report for 2011.
"Since 2002, consumers have paid a special debt retirement charge on their monthly electricity bill that was intended to pay off $7.8 billion in what is called the "residual stranded debt" of the old Ontario Hydro. Since then, consumers have paid $8 billion, but the Minister of Finance has never provided a public update on how much of the debt remains—even though the Electricity Act requires the Minister to do this "from time to time."
This petition will be be forwarded to the Ontario Minister of Finance for questions to be answered.
To the Ontario Minister of Finance,
The people of Ontario would like an explanation as to why they are still paying the debt retirement charge on their electricity bills, as this debt has already been paid off.
We are asking that you get rid of this charge from our electricity bills.
