"Ontario will be able to begin work on an east-west electrical transmission interconnect with Manitoba, which will allow for the flow of new, clean hydroelectric power to the Ontario market,'' [Stephen Harper] said Tuesday in Toronto.
"This will assist the Ontario government as it moves forward on phasing out the province's remaining coal-fired generating stations, a goal which once fully realized will result in the reduction of millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. These actions represent real, practical, achievable action on climate change.''"This investment, which represents Ontario's share of the new Canada ecoTrust, is designed to lessen our dependence on more traditional sources of energy while increasing the supply of clean and renewable electricity. Through today's investment, the province will be able to fund the projects needed to work towards this goal,'' Harper said.See the full content of this document
