FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
--November 17th, 2010-

Well-known television journalist Darryl Konynenbelt is announcing his intention to seek the PC party nomination in the riding of Mississauga. Darryl is an active professional member of the local community having served as the bureau chief for Global News for the past year.

Darryl believes another four years of liberal rule is not healthy for Mississauga-South. "This community's well-being is rooted in how we unite together to ensure our families breathe the cleanest air, receive the best job opportunities and have access to high-quality health care facilities," says Darryl. "I am personally committed to issues that affect our environment, the economy, and to healthcare."

While Darryl has never run for public office before, he is no stranger to politics, spending more than twenty years as a journalist covering elections, and other prevalent political stories in Alberta, BC and Ontario. He and his wife Anne-Marie are raising triplets Libby, Annabel and Maxim and have balanced their professional careers with solid family values.

"The time to run is now," says Darryl. "I'm committed to ensure we don't face another 4 years of Liberal rule in this province; liberal rule that has forced the good people of Mississauga-South to needlessly fear for their families health, safety and future prosperity."

Darryl is also committed to fighting reckless liberal government spending, unprecedented levels of taxation and helping Ontario rebuild to a "have" province through the creation of solid, private sector jobs.

"Ontarians are worried about the future," says Darryl. "The opportunities once offered in this great province are fading into distant memory. We need to rebuild and we need to provide the kind of tax relief needed to give people the confidence to spend again. It's time for the people of Mississauga-South to have their say and it's time for a candidate who will listen."

From the environment, to education, healthcare and the economy, Darryl is committed to working hard for Mississauga -South and ensuring you have a voice at Queen's Park.

Change is needed. To understand what Darryl stands for, log on to his website at www.teamdarryl.ca. Please join Darryl for his official announcement Wednesday, November 17th at 11:30 am on the patio of Snug Harbour restaurant in Port Credit.

 
Natural Gas Power Plant in York Region Exempted from Planning Act PDF Print E-mail

McGuinty Government Supports Reliable Energy Supply, Creates Jobs

The York Energy Centre is on track to provide a reliable energy supply for York Region with a target for commercial operation by mid 2012.

The province has approved a regulation that streamlines land use planning approvals by exempting the facility from the Planning Act.  This exemption is needed to allow the development of new, clean-burning natural gas-generated electricity in an area of rapid growth. Supply in York Region is insufficient to meet the energy needs of a region where demand has been forecast to grow by three times the provincial average.

The York Energy Centre will run about 10 per cent of the time to provide on-demand power mostly during peak times, to help meet periods of high energy demand.

The project completed the environmental assessment requirement and received Ministry of Environment approval for an electricity project of this type.

Developing the York Energy Centre would create up to 200 jobs during peak construction and is an important part of the Open Ontario plan to ensure a sustainable supply of reliable energy for this rapidly growing region.

TORONTO, Sept. 30 - The Ontario Power Authority announced today it will sign a contract with TransCanada Corporation to design, build and operate a 900 megawatt (MW) electricity generating station in Oakville to provide a new, cleaner source of electricity for the growing southwest Greater Toronto Area. This new natural gas power plant will maintain local supply reliability and replace the coal-fired Lakeview generating station, helping Ontario become the first jurisdiction in the world to eliminate dirty coal from its electricity generation mix.

The new power plant will operate during peak periods and be up and running by Dec. 31, 2013. Emission standards for the new plant are 70 percent stricter than what is currently required by the Ontario Ministry of the Environment. TransCanada will meet or exceed these standards, through the use of gas turbines that are among the most efficient available.
