Motion 20-15(3): Affordable Electric Power

Mr. Speaker, I give notice that, on Wednesday, October 27th, 2004, I will move the following motion:

Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Nahendeh, that the government review the territorial Power Subsidy Program immediately to ensure that consumers in communities which rely on diesel power do not suffer any further hardship as a result of increasing oil prices;

And further that the government direct the Northwest Territories Power Corporation to provide information on options respecting current community-based rate structure in light of practices in other jurisdictions and general principles of fairness.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
