The Legislature is almost back in session and it's time another Scuttlebutt before summer's end. There's only two days left of discounted early bird registration for the Second Annual Canadian Property Rights Conference. I also want to give you an update of what I'm doing to fix issues at Tarion and Hydro One and to end Ontario's breed specific legislation.

Randy Hillier requested that the Ontario Ombudsman investigate the billing practices of Hydro One as a result of a countless number of complaints received. Ombudsman Marin responded with the following letter. Hillier will continue to pursue this file as it progresses.

Randy Hillier, MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Lennox and Addington, joined a protest against the proposed industrial wind project on Amherst Island on August 6th. Protesters, some of whom drove more than an hour to get to Perth, organized the rally to tell visiting Premier Wynne that she needs to save Amherst Island from this devastating green energy project.

Pictures from the rally are below.

While the legislature has been recessed, I've taken a breather from the weekly Toronto and Queen's Park smog. In between helping my constituents, I've managed to get some much needed painting, drywalling and insulation renovations completed on my house. Working with tools and being with constituents during the summer has been a welcome change from the endless partisanship at Queen's Park. But just because summer is here doesn’t mean there isn’t Scuttlebutt from Queen’s Park.
