The provision of high quality and affordable communications links within the Yukon and between the Yukon and other reg ions is essential if we are to survive in an information-based society. The Government has responded to Yukoners demands for better communi­ cations services by developing a communications policy specifically tailored to the needs of the territory. We have a rather special situation here in the Yukon where great distances exist between sparsely populated areas making distance com­ munications one of our greatest chall enges. We have therefore made accessibility, reliability and affordability the by-words of our policy. We heard from many Yukoners throughout the policy development process. The results clearly indicate that Yukoners want their government to play a more active ro le in communications matters. A major overriding concern is the need for a strong, effective voice in federal communications policy-making and regulatory forums. This is not surprising when you realize that it is these forums that decide the costs for and level of communications services in the Yukon. Another major concern was the inequity in service levels throughout the ter­ ritory, particularly in respect to the CBC television and radio signals. Under the new policy, the Government will replace the mountaintop rebroadcast television trans­ lator equipment with satellite receive antenna.

    John Maissan 219 Falcon Drive, Whitehorse Yukon, Y1A 0A2 Phone: (867) 668-7774 Email: [email protected] IN THE MATTER OF YUKON ENERGY CORPORATION – VICTORIA GOLD CORPORATION GROUP POWER PURCHASE AGREEMENT Before the YUKON UTILITIES BOARD November - December, 2017 REPLY ARGUMENT OF JOHN MAISSAN Reply Argument introductory comments In this written reply argument, the Yukon Utilities Board is referred to as the “Board”, Yukon Energy Corporation as Yukon Energy, and Victoria Gold Corporation Group as VGC. Interrogatory responses (IR) will be referenced by their identifying numbers. In this reply argument I address issues discussed in the Utilities Consumers Group (UCG) and Yukon Energy final arguments which I feel need some additional comment. My silence on issues not addresses is not to be interpreted as agreement with, or disagreement with, the stated positions. I leave these matters to the Board to address based on all the information on the record. I remain of the view that it is appropriate for Yukon Energy to be providing power service to VGC through the YIS. UCG Final Argument matters 1. No Cost of Service (COS) study UCG notes in some detail the concerns that it has with the absence of a Board accepted COS study. This should be of concern to all parties including the Board. I would like to see the Board take whatever steps it considers necessary to rectify this situation as it affects not just this PPA but also other Yukon Energy and ATCO Electric Yukon matters that come before the Board. 2. Potential cost impacts on other ratepayers UCG contends that there are risks and costs that potentially affect all ratepayers that have not been fully or properly quantified by Yukon Energy.

It is one of the world’s highest-grade silver mines and during its latest production phase from 2011-2013 it was Canada’s only primary silver mine. Bellekeno is the first mine, among more than 35 mine sites, to be reopened in the historic Keno Hill district, which has not seen any production since 1989. United Keno Hill Mine Ltd. originally operated the Bellekeno mine during peak silver production in the Keno Hill district in the mid-1900s. Alexco Resources purchased the Keno Hill Silver District in 2006. It reclaimed Bellekeno and in 2011 began production at the mine. Operations were suspended in the fall of 2013 due to low silver price.

    Good morning, Chairman Neufeld and committee members. Thank you for the invitation to present to you on Yukon Energy’s business and the issues facing us. I will refer you to the slide presentation which I believe you have a copy of. I am now turning to slide 2. 1 I’ll address three general topics in my presentation: 1. Firstly. I’ll provide an overview of Yukon Energy, our asset profile, our recent project history, and our current status. 2. Next, I’ll discuss the options that we are focusing on for new supplies of energy 3. And finally, I’ll touch on some of the challenges that we face. After my formal remarks, I’ll be happy to take any questions that you have. Moving now to slide 3. 2 Yukon Energy is one of two regulated utilities in the Yukon. We are responsible for the majority of electricity generation in the Territory, including 3 hydro facilities and a fleet of back‐up diesel generators. We also own and operate the majority of the electrical grid in the Territory. We distribute electricity to residential and commercial customers in a few of the grid‐connected communities outside of Whitehorse, including Dawson City, Mayo and Faro. We do not serve any remote off‐grid communities. ATCO Electric Yukon is the other regulated utility in the Yukon –they distribute power to residential and commercial customers here in Whitehorse, and they also provide power to a number of off‐grid communities, including Burwash Landing, Destruction Bay, Beaver Creek, Old Crow and Watson Lake.
