Subject: IMO and OEB Remain Committed to Market Readiness by This Fall

FYI - a  joint letter from the IMO and OEB confirming their intention to
proceed with market readiness by the Fall of 2001.
As I indicated earlier to Richard, I have been invited to a meeting with
several people from the Premier's office on Wednesday  May 2  to discuss the
announcement ( I have asked Paul Devries to accompany me; representatives
from Centrica, Toronto Hydro and Enersource/Mississauga Hydro will be there
as well).                                        I had dinner with Judy
Hubert (Asst Deputy Minister of Energy whom John met at Ken Lay's speech) on
Thursday evening: she was aware of the pending meeting between Premier Harris
and Mr. Lay  and was enquiring about what Mr. Lay wanted to address - I
indicated that Mr. Lay would want to make the case for opening the market in
the Fall of 2001(as set out in his speech) and to share with the Premier some
proposals for moving the matter forward. I also indicated that Mr. Lay would
be able to provide the Premier with a useful  and honest perspective on the
events in California and that hopefully , on a going forward basis, the
Premier would see Mr. Lay as someone he could phone and talk to about those
issues.  I will sketch out a draft of the proposed speaking points early next
week.
