NDP leader Howard Hampton says today’s record-setting hydro usage is more proof the McGuinty Liberals’ conservation plan is a failure.

“Dalton McGuinty promised to reduce Ontario’s energy consumption – instead for four years we’ve been breaking consumption records – and it’s happening again today,” said Hampton.

NDP Environment Critic Peter Tabuns says Dalton McGuinty's weak response to secretive nuclear safety problems at government-run nuclear plants show the premier is completely out of touch with working families on the issues of nuclear safety and transparency.

NDP Leader Howard Hampton says Dalton McGuinty is turning his back on Ontario families by defending unjustifiably high hydro salaries - and called on the McGuinty government to implement a salary cap.

NDP Leader Howard Hampton said today that though the McGuinty Liberals talk the big talk on co-generation and small scale energy production they have broken their promise, made two years ago, to hire a Co-generation Facilitator.
