OFFICIAL NDP CAUCUS REPORT TO THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE ONTARIO HYDRO NUCLEAR AFFAIRS (1997) – Appendix 7 p. 10 (1st Session, 36th Parliament, 46 Elizabeth II):

Re. "White Paper on Competition in the Electricity Sector":

"We support changes to the way Ontario’s electricity market is structured, but we want to make sure that the environment and the consumers are protected. Given the government’s record, it is safe to say these things are far from guaranteed. We strongly recommend that the White Paper be the subject of public hearings early in 1998." (Historical note: Public hearings on the legislation that resulted from the White Paper were conducted by the Ontario Legislature Standing Committee on Resources Development in 1998.)
