Pettapiece reiterating concerns about electricity rates

Randy Pettapiece is once again sharing his concerns about what rising electricity rates will do to jobs.

The Perth-Wellington MPP says a recent study found that one in 20 businesses in Ontario will shut down in the next five years.  The report was put together by the Ontario Chamber of Commerce.

But Pettapiece says the government isn’t listening:

Pettapiece blames the Liberal government’s energy policies for the rising rates:

He believes “too many employers have already left the province, and that cannot continue”.
