Premier says he won't back down after Nova Scotia Power credit rating downgraded
“. . .
New Democratic Party Leader Claudia Chender said ideas her party has presented to change the way Nova Scotia Power operates have been ignored.
"Our power bills are still going to skyrocket because Nova Scotia Power passes through a lot of their costs," Chender said. "If it costs the company more, it's going to cost us more."
Houston said his government is simply standing with ratepayers and has made sure a double-digit power rate increase will not happen for the next two years.”
