Statements in Debates
Thank you, Ms. Bisaro. General comments. Next I have Mr. Moses.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I heard my colleague from Yellowknife Centre talking about the cost of power in Yellowknife, feeling that Yellowknife residents are being singled out in some way and not getting the same kind of subsidy as other communities in the Northwest Territories.
Without the benefit of unedited Hansard, I’d like to ask the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation, did the Minister say that the high cost of power in Hay River and Yellowknife had something to do with the franchises operated by Northland Utilities? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Dolynny. General comments. Next, I have Mr. Bromley.
I would like to call Committee of the Whole back to order. Minister Miltenberger.
Thank you, Ms. McLaughlin. Mr. Menicoche.
Thank you. Ms. Bisaro, do we not want to deal with Tabled Document 107-17(4) as well?
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will be supporting this legislation as brought forward by Mr. Yakeleya. I’ve listened to the general comments and the debate with great interest. I’d like to thank Mr. Yakeleya for responding to the requests for his support on this issue and bringing it here to the Legislative Assembly.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. Mr. Yakeleya.
I’d like to call Committee of the Whole to order. We have a number of matters before us today. What is the wish of the committee? Ms. Bisaro.
Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. Next for general comments I have Mr. Nadli and then return to Mr. Hawkins. Mr. Nadli.
