Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question will be directed to the Minister responsible for Finance, FMB. Mr. Speaker, I raised in the House, during this session, questions on the high/temp system, or the hot water temperature system in Inuvik in the utilidor, which is owned by this government. Mr. Speaker, I have done some work in this area, and I have concerns with the proposed rate increase there. A rate increase of approximately 60 percent is being proposed, due to the number of customers that are coming off the system. The rate increase will affect not only private people and businesses, but government as well. In this day of user say/user pay, I am concerned some facilities will have a difficult time in making their payments. Seventy percent of the people on the system are GNWT facilities. There have been a number of studies done by this government. I would like to know if the Minister of Finance is aware of any of the studies and work that has been done on this system? Thank you.
