Mace defends political spending

The president of Thunder Bay Hydro says the city run utility doesn't donate to political parties.  The NDP claims that the utility donated 330 dollars to the Liberal Party of Ontario.  Hydro's Rob Mace says that was likely a luncheon that featured the Energy Minister as the guest speaker.   He says they look at it as an opportunity to spend one on one time with the minister to discuss energy policy as it relates to Northwester Ontario.  NDP leader Andrea Horwath says it shouldn't be necessary for the head of Hydro to spend money in order to see a cabinet minister.
