Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation. Last autumn, a notice was circulated in Yellowknife that the water levels were very low, and that if precipitation over the winter did not raise levels, we could face a rate increase in power costs. We didn't get a lot of snow, so I think the water levels have not raised. I recollect that we've had, I believe, two rate increases in the last two or three years in Yellowknife and it has been financially pressing on businesses that consume a lot of power, and home owners. I wonder if the Minister could tell me whether a rate increase is planned soon for Yellowknife residents.
