Yes, Mr. Speaker, there have been increases of the power rates over the last few years. These were driven by increases in costs, many of them unavoidable by the Power Corporation, such as the increasing costs under collective agreements, increasing costs of fuel. Also, too, the actual amount of power that is distributed each year by the Power Corporation has not been rising to meet these costs. Therefore, increases were asked for of the PUB and granted. Thank you.
