Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister responsible for Social Services. The Minister indicated that the Department of Social Services has incurred additional expenditures with the result of the increase in food allowances in the area of social assistance. I have been wondering -- and I would like to get an answer from the Minister -- are the communities of Pelly Bay, Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Holman Island paying this additional expenditure to fund the other communities across the territories, so that the recipient would get some extra funding under the program? Thank you.
