Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Phase II of the Power Corporation's general rate application will change every
power rate in the Northwest Territories. Many of the rates that are now charged by the corporation, especially domestic rates, will go up significantly if this application is approved. Many other rates will decrease. The decision of the Public Utilities Board will have a significant effect on every single northerner. Can the Minister tell me why he hasn't directed the board to hold hearings elsewhere in the Northwest Territories on this specific application?
