Under the bill as it now stands, if it were not limited in the kinds of ways that Mr. Elgie and Mr. Castrilli have suggested, and if it were valid, the Governor in Council could direct that the coal-fired plants that generate electricity in Ontario be closed and be replaced with nuclear plants. That, after all, would be a measure that would have the effect of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Although obviously no federal government is going to do such a thing, I think it does illustrate, with respect, how very broadly this bill would empower the Governor in Council.
