I just want to take note of the 7 fact that panel member Soldier has been here for at 8 least a half an hour, patiently waiting for the rest of 9 us to show up, as usual. 10 I believe that we have no administrative 11 matters to address unless there -- I just noticed that 12 we have a couple of new exhibits. So perhaps you would 13 like to introduce them, Ms. Ramage. 14 15 (BRIEF PAUSE) 16 17 MR.

PATTI RAMAGE: Well, hunker down. 16 Good morning, Mr. Chairman, Board member Lafond, Board 17 member Soldier. 18 Manitoba Hydro filed its 2012/'13 and 19 2013/'14 General Rate Application on June 15th, 2012. 20 Since that time, we've covered a lot of ground: to (2) 21 rounds of Information Requests, totalling two thousand 22 one hundred and forty-eight (2,148) questions; fifty- 23 nine (59) pre-ask questions; a hundred and -- oh, I had 24 a hundred and seventeen (117) -- a hundred and nineteen 25 (119) Manitoba Hydro exhibits, including seventy-nine DIGI-TRAN INC. 1-800-663-4915 or 1-403-276-7611 Serving Clients Across Canada PUB re MANITOBA HYDRO GRA 02-28-2013 6010 1 (79) Undertakings; culminating in twenty-one (21) days 2 of public hearings over the month of December and 3 January. 4 We've definitely canvassed a very broad 5 range of topics. Manitoba Hydro has made its best 6 efforts to inform the Board of the considerations it 7 took into account when developing these rate proposals, 8 rate proposals that Manitoba Hydro submits balance the 9 needs of ratepayers with the fiscal realities faced by 10 the Corporation in fulfilling its mandate of providing 11 Manitobans with safe, reliable, environmentally 12 sustainable, and economic power. 13 Before commenting on the various issues 14 that have been raised during the course of the hearing, 15 I would first like to bring back into focus the 16 essential components of Manitoba Hydro's General Rate 17 Application. And I'll deal with the approvals sought 18 in chronological order. 19 First, approval to maintain in base 20 rates the 1 percent rate deferral that had originally 21 formed part of the rates approved on an interim basis 22 in Orders 30/'11 and 40/'11 and to include in 2012/'13 23 revenues the revenues already billed and collected on 24 account of this 1 percent since April 1st, 2010. These 25 reve -- revenues have been accumulating in a deferral DIGI-TRAN INC. 1-800-663-4915 or 1-403-276-7611 Serving Clients Across Canada PUB re MANITOBA HYDRO GRA 02-28-2013 6011 1 account since the issuance of Order 5/'12, and $36 2 million to the end of '12/'13, and $14 million in 3 2013/'14. 4 Second is final approval of Orders 5 32/'12 and 34/'12, which orders approved, on an interim 6 basis, a 2 percent increase effective April 1st, 2012. 7 This represents $25 million in 2012/'13 and $26 million 8 in 2013/'14. 9 Third, final approval of Order 116/'12 10 and 117/'12, which orders approved, on an interim basis 11 a 2.5 percent increase effective Sep -- September 1st, 12 2012, for all domestic customer classes. This 13 represents $20 million in 2012/'13 and $32 million in 14 '13/'14. 15 Fourth, final approval of the requested 16 3.5 rate increase effective April 1st, 2013, which is 17 projected to result in 48 -- $48 million in 2013/'14. 18 Fifth, Manitoba Hydro is seeking the 19 PUB's endorsement of modifications to the terms and 20 conditions of the SEP program and the curtailable rates 21 program, as well as final approval of all the interim 22 orders which have issued with respect to these 23 programs, as identified in Manitoba Hydro's filing, 24 together with any further interim orders that issue 25 since the filing up to the date of the Board's final DIGI-TRAN INC. 1-800-663-4915 or 1-403-276-7611 Serving Clients Across Canada PUB re MANITOBA HYDRO GRA 02-28-2013 6012 1 order in this GRA. Manitoba Hydro has provided a list 2 of the curtailable rate program and SEP orders to date 3 at the very back of its book of documents at Tab 16. 4 Finally, with respect to diesel, in 5 Order 116/'12 the PUB approved a 6.5 percent interim 6 rate increase on the full-cost portion of the real -- 7 rate applicable to general service and government 8 customers in the diesel zone. This increase is 9 projected to provide two hundred thousand dollars 10 ($200,000) in 2012/'13 and three hundred thousand 11 dollars ($300,000) in 2013/'14. In total, there are 12 eight (8) interim diesel orders identified in Manitoba 13 Hydro's filing. 14 If MKO files the true copies of the 15 settlement agreement prior to the issuance of the final 16 order in this manner (sic), Manitoba Hydro requests 17 these orders be approved as final. And here I'm 18 referring to Order 17/'04, 46/'04, 159/'04, 176/'06, 19 1/'10, 134/'10, 1/'11, and 148/'11. 20 If, however, the true copies of the 21 settlement agreement are not filed, Manitoba Hydro 22 would request the Board's final approval of these 23 interim orders be granted conditional upon the filing 24 of the true copies of the settlement agreement. 25 In order to put the requested rate DIGI-TRAN INC. 1-800-663-4915 or 1-403-276-7611 Serving Clients Across Canada PUB re MANITOBA HYDRO GRA 02-28-2013 6013 1 approvals in context for the PUB, it's first useful to 2 review the background of how we got to this point. A 3 portion of the approvals requested in the current GRA 4 stretch back to the previous GRA and the subsequent 5 interim rate applications filed by Manitoba Hydro and 6 the various interim orders that have been issued by the 7 PUB since that time. 8 Manitoba Hydro filed a GRA with the PUB 9 on December 1st of 2009 requesting a 2.9 percent 10 increase effective April 1st, 2010, and a further 2.9 11 percent effective April 1st, 2011. Due to the length 12 of the hearing process, the application for rate 13 increases were dealt with by way of interim orders, 14 with the PUB issuing Order 30/'10 on March 26, 2010, 15 which improved an interim increase of 2.9 percent 16 effective April 1st, 2010, and Order 40/'11 on March 17 30th, 2011, which approved a further in -- interim 18 increase of 2 percent effective April 1st, 2011.

  • Overview Manitoba's Post-Secondary System
    POST-SECONDAY PATHWAYS IN MANITOBA Pathways to Education and Work Centre for the Study of Canadian and International Higher Education Qualifications: The Link Between Educational and Occupational Pathways and Labour Market Outcomes is a project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. The four-year project investigates the nature of pathways within postsecondary education, and between postsecondary education and the labour market. As part of this project, the Provincial Pathways profile series lays the groundwork for further inquiry contrasting and comparing educational and occupational pathways in Canadian provinces and territories. Manitoba: Overview The degree of coordination of postsecondary education in Manitoba has fluctuated over the course of its history. An initial system of a single university governing a constellation of denominational colleges (Gregson, 1996) has evolved into a system of autonomous institutions, linked through an array of coordinating endeavors. The province’s present post-secondary system supports both English and French language learners. Manitoba’s large and expanding Indigenous populations are an impetus for innovation as traditionally structured institutions partner with Indigenous communities and educators to develop programs and institutional structures that provide “culturally sensitive” and place based education in the province’s North. (University College of the North, 2005). Manitoba’s Post-Secondary System Manitoba’s post-secondary education system is governed by the Advanced Learning Division of the province’s Education and Training Department. The system is comprised of Four universities Four public colleges and institutes Private, degree-granting religious institutes Private vocational training schools The system began with one university and an affiliated college system (Gregor, 1997).1 The Universities Establishment Act (1967) converted two of these colleges into universities in their own right: Brandon University (Brandon College) and the University of Winnipeg (United College).
