The Ministry also plans to introduce legislative amendments, under the Electricity Act 1998, and the Ontario Energy Board Act, 1998 to establish regulation making authority to enable MEM to limit the participation of foreign jurisdictions in Ontario's energy sector. These actions ensure security for our critical infrastructure and help respond to trade actions with impacts for Ontario's economy.
