Yes, thank you, Mr. Chairman. As Members know, and as I think Mr. Dent pointed out, decisions like this are exclusive jurisdiction of the board to determine. I can tell the honourable Member that the board is very actively dealing with the 1993 rates question, and I am told they may soon have a decision made. I can only say to the Member that Mr. Roberts is here, certainly he and I are both hearing the concern, and are aware of the fact that we are in a recession in the north. It is a difficult time for businesses in this operating climate, and I trust that will be taken into account by the board when they determine the 1993 rates. I thank the Member for that advice.
