Mr. Speaker, the direction from Cabinet is that the Power Corporation file their application for a community-by-community based zone rate system. Any application that is before the Public Utilities Board is open for intervention or public interest. When the PUB is looking at the application put forward by the Power Corporation, those who are in support of the community rate zone are certainly encouraged to intervene or to ask questions. Those who would prefer to see an alternative are certainly encouraged to intervene or to make their points known.

I think the Public Utilities Board process will allow those communities to have the say that they want to have about what kind of rate application zone would best work for them. It is then up to the Public Utilities Board, after hearing from everyone, to make the determination on the rate structure. I would certainly encourage communities with all views to intervene if they choose to. Thank you.
