Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Honourable Charles Dent, Minister responsible for the Power Corporation. Recently, I heard reports on the radio regarding potential power increases to communities and I believe most of them are referred to as eastern Arctic. Some of the reports stated examples of Cape Dorset, where power increases could potentially be as high as 50 percent. I realize these decisions were made by the Public Utilities Board, but have to be followed by the Power Corporation. Could the Minister advise this House if he is aware of large potential increases to communities in the Northwest Territories in power rates. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
