“BC’s GREEN ENERGY TASK FORCE IS A SHAM”

“The Green Energy Advisory Task Force is divided into four subgroups. The subgroup reviewing Procurement and B.C. Hydro Regulatory Reform includes no one from B.C. Hydro and more importantly, no one from the current B.C. Hydro regulator, the B.C. Utilities Commission. The absence of the current regulator creates a great deal of concern because BCUC’s mandate is to keep B.C. Hydro rates competitive. If that mandate is now off the table because the government is more interested in promoting a “green” agenda, it could leave families shivering in the dark in the face of skyrocketing electricity costs.”

“ENERGY TASK FORCE MEMBERS GREEN LIBERAL PARTY COFFERS”

“Of the 29 individuals listed as members of the four task forces, 12 can be linked to Liberal party campaign contributions recorded by Elections B.C.”
