If it's such a good project, why couldn't Fortis Inc. pay for it itself? This is a company that made over $8.9 billion in revenue last year. It paid out over $800 million to their shareholders, yet this government decided to cut a cheque of $655 million for a project that was already getting built anyway. The Lake Erie project has been proposed since 2014.
It's a very simple question. Will the government provide this committee with the details of the special deal they just gave to Fortis Inc.?
