The proposal for increased hydro rates has been officially withdrawn. This outcome recognizes the unique economic realities of our region and proves that our collective persistence was necessary. We will remain observant to ensure these costs stay manageable for all families across Labrador.

We are paying more than our fair share now . The resource is in our own back yard and the province is making millions off of it , and now you want to increase our rates 26 &!!!.What about the seniors and the people with low incomes , how will they manage .We are living in one of the most expensive places in the province and you want to suck us all dry !
Why should we pay more for a service that is deteriorating with time. We are only paying for muskrat falls with no extra power coming our way.
We are paying enough to live here in Labrador City. With the price of groceries, gas, rent, and Hydro it's a wonder how single income families keep their heads above water! Now with the threat of an increase in Hydro, how do you expect anyone to stay in Labrador City? A lot of people will leave and the threat of fly in, fly out will become a reality! Please, we don't want an increase!!
One of the benefits of living in Lab. West is the lower hydro rates. There may be higher salaries here but we also have to pay higher bills (rent/mortgages, groceries, gas, etc). Why take away this benefit & add to the high bill's?
We are paying enough for hydro as it is. With the price of rent and high price of groceries/gas, how are people suppose to live if there is an increase in hydro with the long cold winters . I am on disability and only my husband works, and even tho he may work at IOCC, he has to work 1 or 2 overtime shifts just to make ends meet. People who live outside of Labrador and also Government officials don't know what it cost us to live in Labrador Financially. Please stop this increase, or many people like ourselves will have to move elsewhere. Is it fair for my husband to walk away from a good job at IOCC, because the government is making it impossible for us to survive here.
I cant afford the increase I have no subsidy from I o c or a break because im low income..im in the middle and drowning. ..please no increase
We pay too much here now for everything as it is! There is a reason the saying goes "A little more in Labrador"!!!!

as Labrador being the main source of power, I think people of labrador should be paying the least!!!!
