(Received for Information) 1-10 Lloyd Chiotti, Director Business Transformation, Enbridge Consumers Gas, advising of ongoing developments and changes at Enbridge Consumers Gas. Last year they joined with other members of the IPL Energy family of companies to become Enbridge. Their new name tells the world that they have become one company with one vision: to lead the energy industry in a time of rapid change. Central to that change is a process - being driven by customer demand and an evolving regulatory environment - to remove certain business activities from regulated utilities and into the competitive market place. It is called "unbundling" and it holds the promise of significant benefits for consumers by creating a truly competitive marketplace for energy-related services, which will enhance customer choice and keep prices in check. Enbridge Consumers Gas will continue to support its customers through the process of unbundling. As in the current market, customers will be free to purchase gas through the broker of their choice. However, he assures that customers who choose to stay with Enbridge Consumers Gas for their gas supply will be able to do so. ,... (Received for Information) 1-11 John R.
