Dear Mr.Watson

We, the citizens of Ottawa, petition the city to reduce the natural Gas rates which have changed as of January 2014. Many residents in our city are without jobs or have jobs but are paid minimum wage and simply cannot afford to have the rates of gas increase. In the Ottawa region the lone-parent families are 56, 365 and with the rates going up atypical residential homeowner will see an annualincrease of $17to their bill. How can a single parent expect to pay $17 more on a bill that is originally an average of $120?

We the people of Ottawa demand that the city and Enbridge negotiate a reduction in the natural gas rates.
