Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have looked at the Government Leader's statement on the direction we would be going in in the next while. It was based on Reshaping Northern Government, and it had a
working group in which three of the Members were ordinary Members. But one of the things that I wanted to tell the government, Mr. Chairman, is with regard to the reorganization -- reorganizing the predominance of transportation and utility companies. In Hay River, the Highway Transport Board and the Public Utilities Board - we have now, Mr. Chairman, the Power Corporation that is in Hay River, and we also have Northland Utilities in Hay River, Alberta Power -- but why do you want to have the Public Utilities Board in the same place where those corporations are operating? I could see these people becoming pretty good buddies, eventually, and start determining the rates; or they could be manipulated by those corporations in convincing them to increase rates. But I have no difficulty with wherever it goes. I realize that my constituency has not been mentioned in this document, but I am not interested in that at the moment. I am more interested in finding out what the rationale is behind the utilities board being relocated to Hay River.
