Letting The Energy Board Do It's Job

There's no intention by the provincial government to intervene on requests for rate increases by natural gas companies in Ontario.

As CFOB-News reported this morning, Union Gas is seeking an increase that could result in northern Ontario users paying as much as $190-dollars more over the next year.

In the legislature, Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli says he's confident in the decisions of the Ontario Energy Board.

Union Gas say the proposed increase reflects the prices it will likely pay for gas and transportation in the future.
