ORDERS OF THE DAY			ORDRE DU JOUR
Opposition Day			Jour de l'opposition
Mr. Hampton moved,			M. Hampton propose,
That, in the opinion of this House, the McGuinty government must recognize that during the first two years of its mandate, thousands of jobs have been lost in the forest industries of Northern Ontario; and Recognize that communities are being devastated by the loss of jobs and the disintegration of local and regional economies; and Recognize that as a result of the government's hydro-electricity policies, sawmills and pulp and paper mills in Northern Ontario are forced to pay $80/megawatt or more for electricity that costs $20/megawatt or less to generate at nearby hydro dams, whereas paper mills in competing jurisdictions like Quebec, or British Columbia are paying $30/megawatt for electricity; and Recognize that uncompetitive electricity prices are placing Ontario's forest industries in a highly uncompetitive position; and Immediately implement an energy strategy for northern industries and stop the electricity rate increases that put the entire Northern Ontario economy at risk.
