Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker...(English not provided)

Mr. Speaker, I'd just like to highlight my support for this motion that's in front of us today. I'd like to thank Mr. Yakeleya from Sahtu who presented this motion, and Mr. Pokiak as seconder. As we travel the North we hear right from the grassroots people that the power bill itself is extremely high in the small isolated communities. We just visited one of the small isolated communities over the past couple months; Ulukhaktok. When we went there and Tuktoyaktuk, we were just having discussions on the side. A person was having a $1,200 power bill for one month. That's unreal. That's including when we look that it is subsidized. Still, $1,200, I've never seen that myself and that's just ridiculous. I think we're passing on a message to the department to do even more since the subsidized consumption levels have not been changed since 1988. That's almost 20 years.
