(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I do not have too many comments to raise. I want to raise some issues along what the two Members have already raised. I, too, am very thankful to the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation. We have seen a big improvement. I understood that it has not always been operating that well. One of the comments I want to make is I don't want to see this privatized as yet. As the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation stated, the privatization of the Power Corporation is deferred. I am in support of this. If the privatization of the Power Corporation is going to be deferred and if we are going to wait until 1999, I would be in support of that. I have worked closely

with my constituents, especially in 1994, with regard to this issue. We all understand that the Members of the Legislative

Assembly understand and are in support of the way the Power Corporation is being operated now.

I also understand that in the near future, after the Power Corporation is privatized, we might see increases to our power rates. When this happens, we will have to look for solutions. If the Power Corporation continues to owe more money, we will have to look for solutions to this problem. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
