Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Public Utilities Board is responsible for looking at any general rate applications by any of the utilities that are under its responsibilities. The Public Utilities Board has received a phase one general rate application by the NWT Power Corporation and there was a significant increase, like the Member had indicated. Part of the process of the Public Utilities Board and part of the request by NWT Power Corporation was to institute an interim rate increase as we deliberate the merit of the phase one general rate application. Typically what happens there, Mr. Speaker, is the interim increase is so that there is not a shock to the consumers once there is final approval to that application, Mr. Speaker. Mahsi.
