Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If we are using the Yellowknife rate, does that include the hikes that have occurred in Yellowknife because of the low water levels and the higher cost of generating power having to use more diesel? Has that been part of the picture in which there has been also an increase in Yellowknife, if that is what you are basing it on, causing the higher cost of power because of the low water in the hydro-grid?

No, Mr. Chairman, we have kept the increase because of the low water surcharge out of the equation. So, the answer is no, Mr. Chairman, thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Todd. Before I recognize Mr. Krutko again, I would like to point out to the committee that I have been advised the purpose of calling out the program summary is to conclude the review of a department rather than to ask specific questions on specific activities. Members are asked to pose their questions when the appropriate activity or item is being called. I recognize Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The question I am asking is based on the amount that is in the overall budget, which consists of the particular item that I am speaking on, which makes up the total of the department. In regard to the subsidy question concerning my riding where there was an initiative taken by the Power Corporation and a development corporation to look at the whole area of lost heat with the understanding from the community that there would be savings seen in their power rates, but there has not been. It seems there is an increase in the rate of power versus this new initiative which was supposed to be a savings not only to the Power Corporation but to the community where the price of power was supposed to go down.
