Liberal energy critic Hugh MacDonald said the province reined in its plan because it knows it won't work.

"We have to unplug deregulation," MacDonald said. "It may work for the producers, but it doesn't work for the consumers.
“我们不得不对放开计划叫停,” 麦当劳说 “这计划对供应商行得通，但是对消费者行不通。“

"I guess Mr. MacDonald's crystal ball is better than mine, because I can't forecast the price of electricity five years down the road, and apparently he seems to think he can."

While critics reject claims that competition keeps the price of deregulated energy down, McColl maintains that competition in the utilities industry has been "very healthy."
麦口称，市场放开后，市场竞争将促使电力价格下降。但是批评者们不买她的账。麦口还是坚持说，能源产业的竞争一直都是“非常良性的”。
