The cost of cap and trade changes put in place by the province has the local chamber of commerce looking for answers.
A letter is off to the Ontario Energy Board, kick started by area chambers of commerce including the local branch looking to have the cost of cap and trade charges outlined in utility bills.
The letter was sent off on Friday.
"This was a grass roots chamber initiative starting with the Chambers of Windsor-Essex, London, and Kitchener-Waterloo a few weeks ago," says Matt Marchand, president and CEO of the Windsor-Essex chamber. "We informed our colleagues and a letter from our Ontario president went out today."
Chambers across the province argue that not clearly outlining the cap and trade charges on utility bills works as a lack of transparency for the program and it is transparency the Chambers submit will drive changes in consumer behaviour to reduce emissions.
The letter asks the OEB reverse its decision and disclose the cost of cap and trade in utility bills.
