The Power Workers are working for our
community's future by pursuing a new public.
private partnership to keep the jobs in the Bruce.
Its a very'sensible idea. Ontario Hydro says it cloesri't have the
resources to keep the plants operating, but others do.
So — instead of shutting Bruce A down, the power Workers
think it makes sense to find a partner who will put up money
and know-how — not just to keep the station open, but to
improve us performance. '
That'would keep the jobs here in the Bruce. It would help'
keep electricity costs down, because a refurbished plant will be
more productive. '
It's just; as we say, a very sensible idea.
Incidentally, all three of Ontario's political
parties have asked Hydro to reconsider the
plan to shut down Bruce A.
The all -party Select Committee of the OntariO Legislature that ..„ .
looked at Ontario's nuclear industry all agreed, They called on
I4ydro to find something !niter than their original plan -- .
something that would cost less, would keep more. jobs would
Prevent harm to communities like the. Bruce and would meet
environmental:standards.
The' i3ubli4rivate partnership We're working for would pass
all those tests,
