Manitoba’s NDP government has appointed a new chair of Manitoba Hydro’s board of directors.
Jamie Wilson, a former Manitoba treaty commissioner who also served as a deputy minister under Brian Pallister’s Progressive Conservative government, takes over from Ben Graham, who resigned last week.
Wilson was the vice-chair of Hydro’s board. His full-time job is serving as vice president of Red River College Polytechnic.
Wilson assumes the reins of the Hydro board as the Crown corporation contends with competing financial pressures, including $25 billion in debt, a series of drought-induced deficits, $35 billion worth of infrastructure upgrades and billions more to increase generating capacity.
