Telework (often referred to as telecommuting ) holds new and largely untapped economic opportunities for Northern Ontario by allowing paid workers to work away from their normal place of work, usually from home. Since teleworkers need to consume electricity during the day to power their home offices and the technology therein, the smart meter initiative amounts to a tax on what is a very green activity.
Telework offers significant benefits to individual employees, their employers, and their communities, yet the Ontario government has been less proactive in enabling and promoting telework than it has been on promoting the smart meter initiative. An initiative being managed and implemented by those same organizations who have a long track record of waste and mismanagement.
Let your voice be heard by contacting the Premier’s Office, Hydro One, and the Minster of Energy.
