Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I agree that we, in the sense that there are people who have experience in the Northwest Territories and the expertise to sit on the board, we don't do that when we appoint our Members or Ministers. Certainly we look for what their credentials are and that's the same as what we do when we look for new Members for the Public Utilities Board. The board was set up by the Public Utilities Act to serve as the expert and independent adjudicator for the rate setting process. It was also set up so that it would be at arm's length from this government. There is an application process. There is an appeal process that can be followed. I don't believe there was an appeal filed. Also, in the last while and since 1996, we have moved away from the formal hearing process to what we refer to as a hearing process where we have sent information out through the mail and through public notices, rather than being there in person.
Yes, the final decisions that are made all come through my office as the Minister responsible. Thank you.
