FORD GOV'T SCRAPS GREEN ENERGY ACT

   Months after cancelling hundreds of renewable energy contracts, the Ontario government introduced legislation Thursday to scrap a law that aimed to bolster the province’s green energy industry.
  Premier Doug Ford promised during the spring election campaign to repeal the Green Energy Act, which was introduced by the previous Liberal government in 2009 in a bid to grow the province’s solar and wind energy supply.
   Critics of the act have said it resulted in an increase in electricity costs and saw the province overpay for power it did not need.
