Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, let me give you my version of what I have heard over the last two days.

Mr. Speaker, this is Friday and it may be comical to others, but I think it just goes to show the serious situation we find ourselves in with the state of affairs our government is in, and has put us in to a certain degree by action or inaction from more than one party.

Mr. Speaker, in this House we have had many questions and answers and responses from both the Premier and from the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation, and through those answers we have tried to follow the sequence of events. On page 2263 of unedited Hansard the Honourable Joe Handley puts out information that as of October 2001 Cabinet gave a directive for the government to look at a one-rate zone. So much beyond what started from August 6th was in fact authority given by this Cabinet to look at a one rate zone for the Northwest Territories.

Following that it gets a little bit more confusing. The Premier stated that it was clear direction given on August 6th by the Cabinet to have the Power Corporation cease and desist any further action on a one-rate zone. I have asked the Premier if it was clear and as we can tell from Hansard that in fact we have danced around the issue again.

Today I am going to, once again, get commitment that clear wording was put in the directive to the Power Corporation, the board, that in fact they were to stop and remove their work from the application of one-rate zone.

Later on, Mr. Speaker, I will have questions for the Premier on that. Thank you.
