I am one of the 50 Thunder Bay Hydro customers that are being affected by the proposed transfer from Thunder Bay Hydro to Hydro One. We moved to Thunder Bay in August for work purposes. We found our lovely rural home after much searching and were quite pleased that it was within city limits. Due to a redirection in mail services, I did not receive a registered letter informing me of these proposed changes and just received a copy from Tim Wilson this past week which is why my comments are late. I do not support this transfer. The increase on my bill will be 46% with the delivery portion increased 112%!!! That is outrageous! We purposefully bought our home within city limits to have the benefit and convenience of city living. That is why we pay Thunder Bay city taxes! We certainly would have had second thoughts on the location of our house with hydro being so expensive.

I would appreciate a reconsideration of this harmful proposal.

Thank you.
