The Federal Government has announced a 5.2 Billion Dollars for rate mitigation of hydro rates in the province that will not impact the people of Labrador.
Lela Evans the MHA for the Torngat Mountains District says that this announcement has betrayed the Innu Nation with their Impacts and Benefit Agreement.
Evans adds that the people on the north coast pay the highest electricity rate in the province and that we pay the same rate as Happy Valley-Goose Bay.
We will be speaking with MHA Lela Evans later in the AtjiKangitut program to find out more.
