Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my answer to Mr. Miltenberger earlier today, after five years of hearings before the Public Utilities Board, the Public Utilities Board directed that the Power Corporation set its rates to reflect the actual cost of service. In the past, what has happened in many communities is that the government rate has been higher than the cost of service and the private residential and private business rates were lower than the cost of service. The Public Utilities Board has directed us to change the rates so that both government and the private residential and business people pay the same rates. This means that government rates are coming down and private rates are increasing in many communities. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
