Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Presently, for communities outside of Yellowknife, the territorial power support program is in effect, as each and every Member of this House knows. Customers are subsidized at the Yellowknife rate for the first 700 kilowatt hours. The Minister knows that in more northern communities where it is darker for a longer period of time, the customers will end up spending far more than 700 kilowatt hours per month. Will the Minister consider increasing the subsidy to 1,000 kilowatt hours for those consumers in the more northerly communities which have shorter daylight hours? Thank you.
