Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the honourable Premier of this government. During my recent visit to Gjoa Haven, one of the concerns that was brought to my attention regarded income tax forms and UIC forms received by recipients in small communities across the territories. The concern being that most of the recipients are not able to read English. Sometimes very important information ends up on the shelf or in file 13, never to be seen again. One of the solutions that was brought to my attention at that meeting was perhaps that the federal government should provide PYs in each region to help those people who need help. My question to the honourable Premier is would the Premier undertake to contact our federal counterparts to see if it is possible to have manpower in each region under the payroll of the federal government? Thank you.
