Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Power Corporation has been hired under contract to operate the utilidor system by the Inuvik Utilidor Planning Committee, which is made up of the municipality and government agencies. What appears to be driving the increases are two major factors: one, the reduction in the number of users on the system, which means that remaining users on the system have their rates go up in order to cover the relatively high fixed costs of operating the system; two, the system is getting quite old, and requires a significant amount of maintenance to keep it in operation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
