Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We are elected by our people to represent them. We are not elected to pawn off difficult decisions to other Legislative Assemblies. I would like to ask the Premier, if the Public Utilities Board has decided that it is going to create an extra burden on one group to have one rate zone, is it not in reverse that it is creating a burden on the one group by having a different rate zone? Now, somewhere down the road we are going to have to meet in the middle. This is the same thing that is going on all through the Territories. Everything that we are doing we are either pawning it off or we are not making decisions on it. All these strategies, and we do not make decisions on them. So I would like to ask the Premier, since we represent the people of the Territories why can this Cabinet not make a decision, or are they going to go ahead and approach the Public Utilities Board on behalf of the people of the Territories to make it fair and square for everyone? Thank you.
