Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for the Public Utilities Board. Mr. Koe, yesterday, told the House that the Public Utilities Board granted the Power Commission a six per cent interim increase to power rates effective April 1. This increase is an interim increase until the board has the opportunity to hold full hearings on the Power Corporation's application to increase the rates. Given the current economic climate from the agreements that are in place, it astounds me that the Public Utilities Board would give the Power Corporation an increase of six per cent. Can the Minister please tell me what, if any, criteria the PUB uses to grant interim increases in the absence of submissions from the general public and other interested parties to the NWT Power Corporation?
