Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, the City of Yellowknife has recently unveiled its municipal budget and they are asking for a tax increase in order to pay for an increased amount of service demand, particularly around social services. I’d like to ask Minister Abernethy how is he going to work with the City of Yellowknife to offset those increased costs. At this point, we’re asking Yellowknife taxpayers to support what many consider to be a territorial responsibility, which is providing social services to our poorest residents many of whom come to Yellowknife to access those services. How is the Minister going to assist the City of Yellowknife so Yellowknifers don’t have to look forward to increasing amounts of taxes on a municipal level to pay for these services that again are rightfully a territorial responsibility? Thank you.
