Green Energy Act Review

Ontario is asking the federal Conservative government to use next month's budget to fund green energy projects in the province.

Premier Dalton McGuinty says if Ottawa is going to provide financial support for unproven technologies to capture carbon emissions in Western Canada, it should also support green energy initiatives.

McGuinty says the province will review the impact of its Green Energy Act on struggling towns in northern Ontario, where there are fears more industries could close because of rising electricity prices.
