Thank you to the member for Algoma–Manitoulin. I appreciate the balanced conversation, because this has been framed as, either you’re going to have natural gas or you won’t, and that’s not what’s happening here. What we’re saying is that an independent organization, the Ontario Energy Board, has said that ratepayers should not have to pay for this. And that’s the stance we’re taking as New Democrats. The Conservative government is saying, “Well, they should pay for it.”

So just for the member for Algoma–Manitoulin: If this bill passes, or if this bill fails, do you think it’s going to affect access to natural gas for the people of your riding?
