Honourable Brad Duguid, Ontario Minister of Energy and Infrastructure

 

On August 5th, 2010 the new Chair of the Chamber’s Environment and Energy Committee Mark E. Emmanuel traveled to London, Ontario to meet the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, the Honourable Brad Duguid.

A mix of private and public sector participants shared their infrastructure priorities in a consultation session intended to provide input in what the Government of Ontario announced will become a new 10 year infrastructure plan for the Province. 

In its presentation, the Chamber called for more energy related infrastructure to be included in the new plan with a goal to secure affordable and reliable supply of energy for business. The energy prices in the Province have been increasing in recent years.
