The Green Energy Act is a signal that the Ontario government is serious about getting down to the business of First Nation partnerships," said Isadore Day Wiindawtegowinini, Chief of Serpent River First Nation. This bill focuses on respecting the environment, and providing Ontario and other consumers with a secure source of energy, not one that will leave us in the dark. We must commend Premier (Dalton) McGuinty and Minister Smitherman for this new Green Energy Act that now gives call to strategic partnerships in the private sector, First Nation community and government."
