Thank you, Mr. Premier. Continuing on with questions on this activity, I have Mr. Bromley.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, what we’ve been able to calculate today with my statement and also the statement today by Mr. Bromley is that NTPC has been overcharging Hay River for years.

Can the Minister inform the House if his definition of competitive process complies with this government’s stated philosophy on market disruption affecting the private sector?
