His Worship Ronald Holman
Mayor
Township of Rideau Lakes
Dear Mayor Holman:
On April 16, 2015, the Ontario Government announced our intention to proceed with an
Initial Public Offering of shares in Hydro One Inc. before the end of the current fiscal
year. We further announced that Hydro One Brampton Networks Inc. would be merged
with three other local distribution companies: Enersource Corporation, Horizon Utilities
Corporation and PowerStream Inc.
These announcements are in response to advice from the Premier’s Advisory Council on
Government Assets, led by Ed Clark. As you know, the Council was tasked with finding
ways to improve customer service and increase efficiencies in order to maximize the
value of government assets and generate better returns for the people of Ontario.
An amount equal to the net proceeds of the sale of Hydro One shares will be put in the
Trillium Trust. Our government’s Moving Ontario Forward initiative commits nearly $29
billion over the next 10 years for investments in priority infrastructure projects, including
nearly $14 billion earmarked for outside the Greater Toronto-Hamilton Area for
investment in roads, bridges, transit and other critical infrastructure. The Trillium Trust
will be an important source of funding for this commitment.
The Province will continue to be the largest shareholder in the new Hydro One, and the
company’s rates will continue to be regulated by the Ontario Energy Board (OEB). We
are proposing new oversight powers for the OEB and the appointment of a dedicated
Ombudsperson within the new Hydro One to further protect consumers, contain costs
and ensure reliability of service.
I want to assure those in Hydro One’s service territory that the reliability and affordability
of power is our first priority. The sale of shares in Hydro One will not cause the price of
electricity to rise and will not impact reliability of service. In fact, we agree with the
Council’s assessment that changes at Hydro One will unleash new efficiencies and
innovation that will reduce costs and benefit consumers.
65
I also want to assure you that we remain committed to the transmission projects outlined
in the 2013 Long-Term Energy Plan, including to plan for a new northwest Bulk
Transmission Line west of Thunder Bay and to work with the federal government to
connect remote northwestern communities.
I want to draw your attention to the decision to merge Hydro One Brampton. The merger
of four local distribution companies (LDCs) into a single, highly effective entity will create
savings and efficiencies of scale that will benefit hundreds of thousands of households
and create the second-largest LDC in the province. This is consistent with the
recommendations of the Ontario Distribution Sector Review Panel and will hopefully
serve as a model for other LDCs. While I have been clear that our government will not
force consolidation of municipally-owned LDCs, I feel that further consolidation is in the
best interests of the system and its customers.
If you would like to review the Council’s report, it is available at
www.ontario.ca/government/premiers-advisory-council-government-assets.
Sincerely,
Bob Chiarelli
Minister

The Ontario Provincial Police is pleased to offer Citizen Self Reporting, an alternative reporting option
that allows the public to report specific crimes to police via the internet, anywhere, anytime. The OPP’s
Citizens Self Reporting system allows members of the public to use a computer or mobile device to
report an incident without requiring an officer to attend the scene.
Citizen Self Reporting is simple and convenient and can be used when reporting incidents that do not
involve injury or a suspect, or a crime that is not an emergency. The use of this new system is completely
optional. Police will still attend a call for service if desired.
Visit the website yourself to check it out:

The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) is improving its capacity for emergency response and
enhancing the safety for an important segment of the communities it serves.
Beginning Wednesday, April 15, the OPP will be equipped to receive emergency calls for
service via Text with 911 (T9-1-1) from people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech
impaired (DHHSI) and for which the OPP is the Primary Public Safety Answering Point (PPSAP).
T9-1-1 enables emergency communication with OPP 9-1-1 call takers via text message (or
SMS). In order to use T9-1-1, members of the DHHSI community must register their cell phones
with their wireless carrier in advance. Some older model phones may not be compatible. Those
who have more than one cell phone will need to register each phone individually. The T9-1-1
service is not intended for use by the general public.
An Information Card is available on the OPP website at this address
(http://www.opp.ca/ecms/index.php?id=620) and via several OPP-serviced jurisdictions. More
information is also available through the Canadian Wireless Telecommunication Association at
www.cwta.ca.
QUOTES
“The OPP is committed to increasing accessibility for persons with disabilities, and has made
extensive network upgrades to be able to offer Text with 9-1-1 service in the communities we
serve.” -- Commissioner J.V.N. (Vince) HAWKES
“Preparing to offer Text with 9-1-1 was complex and involved months of collaboration with our
service provider and the communities. The OPP appreciates the patience of many stakeholders
while we implemented the necessary changes to provide this important and innovative service.”
– Chief Superintendent Rick BARNUM, Commander – OPP Communications and Technology
