Mahsi, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for the Public Utilities Board. On October 12, 1994, the Minister responsible for the Public Utilities Board was asked in this House why the board had not scheduled public hearings in Nunavut, or for that matter, anywhere else outside of Yellowknife regarding the NWT Power Corporation's general rate application.
Since this application would have a significant effect on all communities in the Northwest Territories, Members were quite surprised that no hearings were scheduled in communities other than Yellowknife. The Minister said, "quite frankly, I'm quite surprised myself," and promised to "take whatever steps necessary to ensure that the Public Utilities Board will meet in those regions affected." Can the Minister tell us when and where these other public hearings are due to take place? Mahsi.
