only carbon tax. On September 11, 2018, Fletcher became leader of the Manitoba Party. According to the Winnipeg free press, three reasons lead to Fletchers removal from the PC Manitoba caucus. They are; His introduction of private members legislations, opposing a government bill to create a crown corporation for energy efficiency, and a presentation he gave at a town hall hosted by Manitoba Forward.[75] [76] [77] Fletcher argued that the PC party did not run on creating a new Crown corporation. That the new crown corporation went far beyond what the government had stated and included items such as potable water. His main argument is that Manitoba has a massive supply of hydro generated power and continues to build more generation at the cost of billions of dollars, with no acceptor to sell the power. Fletcher argues that the demand side management of power usage is not appropriate in the Manitoba context. This is because supply of power will exceed the demand for power until 2044. Combine with the facts that 97% of Manitoba power generation is clean, cheap, green energy, it does not help the environment or hydro fiscal position to reduce the demand of a product that Manitoba has far too much of. In addition, due to the over building undertaken by Manitoba Hydro under the previous government, Hydro has no choice but to raise rates. This in itself with reduce demand. The additional cost of creating a crown will increase rates further due to the huge expense. Fletcher has introduced many pieces of legislation as an Independent member, or as leader of the new Manitoba party.
