The Telegram reports:

The Pubic Utilities Board announced Tuesday that it has hired Manitoba Hydro International (MHI) to help review the Muskrat Falls hydro project.

The government has ordered the PUB to review Muskrat against an isolated-island option, to determine which will be the lower cost for electricity consumers.

In a news release, the PUB said that it has been getting documents from Nalcor since mid-June and MHI will be reviewing all of that data and analysis.

All documents will be posted at www.pub.nl.ca, and MHI will author a report based on the documents.

The PUB is also planning on posting public hearings starting in October; specific dates have not been determined yet.

What are the chances that the specific dates, purely coincidentally, will begin on or after October 12th?
