Thank you, Madam Speaker. Without prejudicing the issue that is going to be before the PUB, I think my question would probably lead a little bit more to long-term planning, that one must anticipate the price of fuel is going to go up so they build in a contingency there that would allow for increases. The same would apply to possibilities of low water on the hydro systems. My question is, is the Power Corporation looking at regular planning that any department or agency such as the Power Corporation would be doing to put in place a program that would take care of those particular emergencies over a longer term, rather than hit hard, a 22 per cent increase for a year, to the ratepayers of that area. Are they looking at putting in a program that would spread this over a longer period of time and build up a reserve for such emergencies?
