40% Rate Hike, But Don't Email the Chair

Crown monopoly SaskEnergy has just applied to the rate review panel to increase charges by 40 percent. When I emailed input@saskratereview.ca to ask about how to give input, I received this auto-response I got from the chair of the Rate Review Panel who also works at the University of Saskatchewan.

Greetings! I am away from the office Monday July 14, 2008 until Thursday August 14th, 2008. I will not be clearing email during this time frame. If you are emailing with enquiries regarding the Bachelor of Commerce degree program, please email Ms. Wendy Wignes at: wignes@edwards.usask.ca.

How convenient. Doubtless, when Ms. Renny checks her email in a month, she will give adequate time to the hundreds of messages in her inbox.
