There is something dramatically wrong with the following statement, contained in Premier Kathleen Wynne’s attack on PC leader Doug Ford about Hydro One: “The company has noted that Hydro One customers pay only two cents on their monthly bill for the CEO’s compensation while nearly 80 per cent of the total executive compensation package is paid for by shareholders.”

Now, let’s look at what Hydro One is saying: 80 per cent of executive compensation paid by shareholders. Where are the shareholders getting the money to pay those big excessive salaries? And, exactly who are the “shareholders” that are paying this?

This really doesn’t make sense at all. We should all challenge Hydro One to prove this statement in an open, transparent fashion.
