Question O553-12(2): Powers Of Public Utilities Board To Rescind Increases In Rates
Item 5: Oral Questions

June 16th, 1992

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday I asked the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation, and the Minister responsible for the Public Utilities Board responded, so my question is for the Minister responsible for the Public Utilities Board regarding the six per cent interim increase in power rates. I was not satisfied with the response, and I still have not received the information. I am wondering whether or not the Power Corporation can substantiate the interim increase, and that leads me to believe there is probably another increase that may occur. I know that they are going to hold hearings, and these take time. My question is, can

the Minister tell me what powers the Public Utilities Board has in place to rescind these increases should they not be fully justified by the Power Corporation, and how will consumers be reimbursed for payments they have made in the interim?
