I can not believe Hydro One is requesting such a ridiculous increase in hydro in such a tough economic times. After reviewing the salaries of those at Hydro One making over $100,000 (over ¼ billion $) and the 10s of millions paid to the top execs of OPG, maybe a salary freeze or even reduction to those that make 10 times what they need to be.

I own a struggling small business and if I increase my prices 25%, I would have no customers left. Unfortunately people with Hydro One don’t have an option to “shop somewhere else”.



This dramatic of an increase should not be approved plain and simple.



Thank you for your time,
