Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Thursday, March 15, 2007, I will move the following motion: now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Nunakput, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommends the government undertake a comprehensive review of the Territorial Power Subsidy Program, including the comparison of the power consumption levels in the various regions and during different months of the year, to identify changes to

the program to ensure power is affordable for residents for all NWT communities throughout the year, while maintaining an incentive for residents to limit their non-essential power consumption; and further, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommends the government report back to the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight with options for such a change by August 3, 2007; and furthermore, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommends that the government direct the NWT Power Corporation to develop an incentive to develop user-friendly, real-time in-home metering, which will allow residential consumers to monitor and, where appropriate, reduce their power consumption.
