Mr. Speaker, my information now is that the stabilization funds that we have in the Power Corporation have adequate flexibility to be able to accommodate for the higher prices for the time being, so we don't have to pass it off to customers. Mr. Speaker, at some point, when the maximum stabilization funds are reached, then we may have to go for what's called a rate rider to increase power. At that point, then we would have to look at issues like the Member is referring to, but it's not a decision the Power Corporation would make itself. It would to take this to the Public Utilities Board. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
