Putting Power Smart advertising on pause as it's moved to a new Crown corporation was just efficient, Manitoba's Crown Services minister said Monday. Cliff Cullen said Hydro's energy efficiency programs are transitioning to Efficiency Manitoba, which he expects to be up and running by the end of the 2018-19 fiscal year. "If the government wants to help Manitobans, then maintaining existing successful Power Smart programs might be a good thing to do," said Altemeyer. Cullen said the Power Smart program is owned by B.C. Altemeyer also asked if the government is cutting Power Smart as part of a larger mandated cut to Manitoba Crown corporations.
