Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to follow up on my Member’s statement on energy
policy, and I direct it to whichever Minister takes responsibility for the current energy policy vacuum under which we are operating.
The government, as a regulator, needs to provide and be seen to provide a level playing field for businesses to be able to fairly compete and thrive.
How fair and level is the playing field when a private, highly regulated utility must bid against a publicly owned business directly and indirectly subsidized by over $100 million in recent years? And I mean this. On what basis has this Cabinet possibly met and decided that there’s a fair and level playing field here? Mahsi.
