Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member has asked me a relatively difficult question as power rates are set in a general rate application process which takes years. Stacks of paper perhaps ten feet high are brought before the Public Utilities Board. I assume the Member means in fact, are the rates set so the costs are recovered on a community by community basis? The answer to that is, yes, following the last general rate application and approximately five years of work with the Public Utilities Board, communities and intervenors from across the North. The rates that the Power Corporation charges its customers are set so that each community pays its own way. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
