Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions today are for the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation. We heard earlier today that the Minister alluded to the idea or fact that, when Northland Utilities is no longer going to be the distributor of power to the Town of Hay River, quite confidently, the Minister indicated to the House that Hay River rates will go down or be less.

Mr. Speaker, as a Yellowknife resident, the portion of our power bill that is responsible for or comes under NTPC, which is about 75 per cent of our power bill, has seen an increase of nearly 30 per cent over the last four years and is going to see an addition 8 per cent increase in the coming two years. How can the Minister so confidently suggest that rates in Hay River will go down while ours will collectively have gone up by a compounded rate of 40 per cent over six years? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
