Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation. Mr. Speaker, we all know that the PUB has made a decision with regard to adding a rider to the power rates for the low-water rate; better known as low-water rate rider, on our Power Corporation bills. This initial decision was to recover some $4.8 million which was expended here in Yellowknife. I want to indicate to the public that my constituents are very concerned about this and did not agree with the decision, however, are accordingly paying their power bills.

Mr. Speaker, this particular decision to allow for the rest of the territories to absorb this $1 million cost and the $3 million to be absorbed by Yellowknife residents...Can the Minister indicate to this House if she knows the percentage of this $1 million cost to other territorial residents which should reflect on their power bill? Thank you.
