Ambitious - yes. Some might even say pretentious. But we deliberately wanted to set a high standard for our own performance and perhaps even to throw down a gauntlet to other utilities in other jurisdictions. We have just received the report of an internal Task Force on Sustainable Development, chaired by two eminent environmental leaders, James MacNeill and David Runnalls, with a series of recommendations responding to the global Agenda 21 adopted by governments at last year's Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. We are determined to make Ontario Hydro, as a major factor in the Ontario economy, a much more active and positive force for revitalizing the economy, helping to make it more competitive and setting the primary example of sustainable energy development.
Energy efficiency is our highest priority.
And our first challenge is to set an example ourselves. In this we have a long way to go. Our Sustainable Development Task Force pointed out that we are our own best and worst customer. Best because we use in our system 50 per cent more electricity than the entire City of Toronto. Worst because we don't pay for it.
