Dalton McGuinty came out with an energy plan last year, but never had any consultations about it.  Adriana thought there should be some consultations.  So here they are.  [Watch the Power to Choose videos on YouTube.]

Come to express opinions, share knowledge and discuss strategies to create a sustainable, safe, clean and affordable energy plan for Ontario.  We deserve a say in our energy future.
