Motion 5-16(2) Reconsideration of Power Rate Structure
Mr. Speaker, I give notice that on Wednesday, February 20, 2008, I will move the following motion:
Now therefore, I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Nahendeh, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommend that the government initiate the necessary policy changes and bring forward the necessary legislative amendments to make possible the consideration of levelized power rates for the Northwest Territories at the time of the NWT Power Corporation's next general rate application; and furthermore, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommend that these legislative amendments include, if necessary, changes to the Public Utilities Act which would give the government authority to provide direction to the Public Utilities Board; and furthermore, that this Legislative Assembly strongly recommend that the government instruct the NWT Power Corporation to base its next general rate application on a levelized rate structure; and furthermore, that the Legislative Assembly recommend the government provide a response to this motion within 120 days.
Motion 2-16(2), Motion 4-16(2). These motions have been called once, but will stay on this Order Paper for one more day.
