Red flags about the cost of Hydro rates are being raised again at Queen’s Park. This time it’s the MPP for Temiskaming-Cochrane, John Vanthof, raising concerns. He says the Wynne government promised a 12 per cent delivery charge reduction for Northerners, on top of the eight per cent tax break. But, he says only a fraction of those living in rural areas will actually qualify for the rebate. Â The Minister of Energy, Glenn Thibeault, says over 300-thousand families will be getting the benefit of 20 per cent on their bills. He says the province is making sure families will be able to save as much as possible.
