Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, following on my Member's statement about the confusion that goes around the happenings of the Power Corporation, we found out yesterday that in fact this Cabinet had given a directive to begin looking at one rate zone for the Northwest Territories. That work had been taken on by this Cabinet and the Power Corporation.
I asked the Premier yesterday in unedited Hansard on page 2256 about the clear direction given or if there was a reissued directive to the Power Corporation. Mr. Kakfwi stated that, "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, I am not clear as to what form of communication took place between Cabinet and the Minister responsible and the chairman of the board in August." So even he at this point is not clear what that directive obviously meant in August.
Mr. Speaker, knowing that this is still hanging over us, and I am aware that when this issue first came out in the media I was concerned that there was no discussion about the subsidy structure that was in place, or what would be in place, I approached a couple of Ministers on that. I was not told at that point that this was off the rails and that there was direction not to proceed, so that is even confusing.
Mr. Speaker, my question to the Premier, was the wording in the directive to the Power Corporation to stop work on a one-rate zone and pull it from the PUB? Thank you.
