The Ontario Greens, led by Mike Schreiner, are calling for a reevaluation of the Ontario Electricity Rebate after a panel revealed it mainly benefits the province’s wealthiest residents. The Financial Accountability Office estimates that this subsidy will cost taxpayers a staggering $45.4 billion over the next 20 years. Schreiner emphasizes the need to redirect these funds to address energy poverty and invest in efficiency programs that support everyday Ontarians, rather than enriching high-income homeowners.
