Electricity consumers in Ontario will find out detailstoday on how the Liberal government intends to lower their bills by10 per cent.
Finance Minister Dwight Duncan will announce the Ontario Clean Energy Benefit in his fall economic update, promising to lower hydro bills starting in the new year.
Premier Dalton McGuinty wouldn't confirm details, but says the government knows people are struggling with soaring electricity bills.
He says cutting electricity bills is about understanding the pressures on families and providing them with "a little bit of help.''
However, the Opposition says cutting electricity rates 11 months before an election smacks of a desperate attempt to help the Liberals win a third term in office.
