Angus Calls Energy Meeting Productive

Thunder Bay's Energy Task Force is calling meetings with the new Minister of Energy and the Ontario Power Authority yesterday productive.   Chair Iain Angus says the meeting helped the OPA understand the demands for energy in the region but are still far apart on the issue of power supply. Angus adds they told Bob Chiarelli he may need to over rule the power authority's decision to close the Mission Island Power Plant.  He says the Minister understood that it might come to him overruling the OPA.
