Stephen Lecce was recently appointed Ontario’s Minister of Energy and Mines, with an expanded mandate focused on accelerating resource development.
In his mission to position Ontario as an energy superpower, by expanding electricity generation–anchored by nuclear power—along with transmission and storage.
