Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Perhaps I should have elaborated further. This five per cent increase was applied across the NWT, whether in Yellowknife or in Grise Fiord. There are some inequities in this regard. This five per cent increase should not have been applied to all the communities where there are differences in food prices. The department and myself will be looking into how we can apply this better and try and use the available resources. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
