Thank you, Madam Speaker. Yes, I did say at the time that I was equally as surprised as the Members
were. I have spoken to the chairman since that time, and in defence of the Public Utilities Board, their concern was cost because they are trying to keep this board lean and mean so it doesn't cost the government and, ultimately, everybody in the territories a lot of money.
I have got the chairman of the board's assurances that, in future, and when this hearing concludes, there will be hearings in the territories with respect to this issue and future hearings of this magnitude. Thank you.
