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.

Until there is a public outcry government will not listen. Too bad the general population don't get the immediate reaction big business gets. We remember this is the same crew that left us holding the bag on Grand falls Abitibi. Time for change.

This is outrageous, greed upon greed, that's all it is.
shameful, and will put a lot more hardship on the average person in the communities.
