Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister responsible for the Northwest Territories Power Corporation. The Power Corporation is in the process now of going through a general rate application which will see power rates increase here in the Northwest Territories. I think it's very hard for the residents here in the Northwest Territories to stomach any type of increase, given the fact that last summer there was over $500,000 paid to senior staff in bonuses at the Power Corporation. In addition to that, Mr. Speaker, I represent a riding that has over 100 businesses in it: Kam Lake Industrial Park. The power goes out every second day in the summertime and it costs businesses in my riding money and no one is very happy with the Power Corporation looking at raising rates. So I'd like to ask the Minister why are they going to a general rate application to raise rates on residents here in the Northwest Territories? Thank you.
