Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The government of Ontario’s spending on electricity price mitigation programs reached an all-time high last year, totaling nearly $6.9-billion during the fiscal year ended March 31. These programs included the Comprehensive Electricity Plan and the Ontario Electricity Rebate. The C.D. Howe Institute found that these subsidies caused residential and small-business customers to pay lower rates compared to large commercial and industrial consumers.
