(Toronto) In a report released today, three prominent economists throw cold water on the "business case" that the provincial government has offered for privatizing Hydro One.
The authors, Myron Gordon, Doug Peters, and Mike McCracken, examine the arguments being made for selling the province's electricity and distribution systems to private investors and find them wanting. They conclude that, "by any objective measure, abandoning public control of this vital public infrastructure simply makes no sense."
