This wilI occur despite the fact that utilities operate solely on revenue generated from the sale of electricity (purchased from Ontario Hydro) and receive no provincial funds. Commission chair Bill Lawler said local officiais were gven no reasons for being included in the social contract legislation. "I guess they're (gavernment) just gasping at straws, the same as thleboard of education in Toronto," he said. (The Metro Toronto school board must came up with $75.6 million in social contract savings, even though it, too, receives no provincial funding.) The Municipal Electric Asso- ciation, which re presents Ontarios electric utilities, in- tends ta continue pressing Queen's Park ta, have the savings passed on ta consumers. But Lawier did not wish ta speculate on the outcome of the association's lobbying efforts.. "The only thing i can say is that it's going ta ho a long road," he said. "They (government) opened contracts which I thought was illegal, but I guess they can do anything." An Ontario governinent spok- esperson was not immediately available te, explain why utilities were part of t he social contract process. To drum up support for chan- nelling savings inte the overal electrical systeai, the commission will outline its position in a newsletter ta be included with a future billing. Customers will ho asked ta, write either Premier Bob Rae or their MPP if they agree with the commission's stand, M ay said.
