Question 366-12(5): Increase To Water And Sewer Rates
Item 5: Oral Questions

Henry Zoe North Slave
Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my question will be directed to the Minister responsible for Municipal and Community Affairs. As I mentioned in my Member's statement, the subsidized water and sewer rates have had a positive impact on our northern economy, helping both residents and small businesses.
Madam Speaker, I was disturbed to hear that a Cabinet decision has been made to substantially increase these rates. I would like to ask the Minister when this decision was made by Cabinet?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. The decision was to increase commercial rates, not necessarily residential rates, just commercial rates by a small amount and the decision was made earlier this month. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
