Duguid Pans NDP Energy Proposal


Energy Minister Brad Duguid is calling out NDP Leader Andrea Horwath.

Horwath recently suggested the province scrap the H-S-T from hydro and home heating bills.

Duguid says that wouldn't help as much as his party's plans.

"Well she's missed the boat there," says Duguid. "The Clean Energy Benefit does more than that and provides greater savings to consumers than if we were remove the HST off the bills."

Duguid says the clean energy benefit provides 10 per cent off hydro bills while the HST is only 7.
