Hampton Opposes Hydro rate increase

Opposition New Democrats are calling on Premier McGuinty to review an Ontario Energy Board decision that raised the guaranteed rate of return for electricity distributors and transmitters.

Kenora-Rainy River M.P.P. Howard Hampton says those rates went up despite recommendations no change was necessary.

Energy Minister Brad Duguid says the NDP are speaking figures that are inaccurate.
