Wratten. Mr. Wratten wrote to all municipal utility commissioners regar- ding a statement recently made by Leader of the Opposition, David Peterson. David Peterson sent a letter to each municipal utility outlining proposals to am- end The Power Corporation Act. Included with his letter was, according to Mr. Wrat- ten, a news release in which a number of allegations were made with regard to On- tario Hydro. According to Mr. Wratten,. the informa- tion m David Peterson's letter was "misleading and one-sided." In reply to Mr. Peterson's statement that Ontario Hydro's debt is close to $19 billion and has increased steadily over the last several years, Mr. Wratten wrote, "it should be noted that the corporation's assets have also increased just as rapidly to a forecast of more than $23 billion by year end." The OMEA president also wrote that "it is misleading to suggest that Ontario Hydro's financial needs are crippling programs in other social areas." He said that Ontario Hydro is a self-sustaining crown corporation funded through its operations in which an- nual revenues are nearing $4 billion and, "it is through these revenues that the corpora- tion finances its operations." s yfi.ro Mr. Wratten said Mr. Peterson's state- ment, "the hill implications of this arbitrary decision-making within Hydro we can only begin to imagine," is totally misleading. He wrote, "I doubt very much that any organization subject to the number of public hearings and inquiries that Ontario Hydro is, can be considered to be making arbitrary decisions." He added that Ontario Hydro is one of the most open government agencies in Canada according to Dr. Stuart Smith Head of the Science Council of Canada and former Leader of the Ontario Liberals. He explained Ontario Hydro's perfor- mance with nuclear reactors as being con- sistently rated in the top 10 in the world. He further explained that since first production of electricity, Ontario Hydro's reactors hold seven of the top 10 spots when ranked with the rest of the world for lifetime perfor- mance. Mr. Wratten disclosed 1982 total unit energy costs for operation, maintenance, fuel, depreciation and financing charges at Ontario Hydro's nuclear plants. He said they averaged 1.7 cents per kilowatt-hour compared to 3.4 cents per kilowatt-hour for Ontario Hydro coal-fired generation. In closing Mr. Wratten said, "What is needed is more consideration of the con- sumers' needs, now and in the future. This will not be achieved by partisan political at- tacks on an essential utility." Exchange program offered "Local Area Representatives are being sought for ASSE, a non-profit high school ex- change,program," announced Boyce, Direc- tor of ASSE. "Area Representatives are needed to screen -interview host families and recruit Canadian high school students to study in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, West Germany, Switzerland, and Great Britain." "ASSE has over 300 Area Represen- tatives in North America," continued Boyce, "who consider working with outstanding ASSE Canadian and European young adults a rewarding and enriching ex- perience. Arca Representatives establish lasting friendships in their community, throughout Canada, and in Europe. Area Representatives are reimbursed for their expenses and have the opportunity to travel overseas." ASSE is affiliated with the Swedish and Finnish Ministries of Education. The ASSE exchange program enables qualified students to live with Canadian or European host families while attending local schools in order to learn from cultures other than their own.
