Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation. Mr. Speaker, in the north, we give many subsidies to seniors, such as the fuel subsidy. I know in my community we attempt to assist them by their tax subsidy and we certainly try to help our seniors as much as we can. However, one subsidy they don't have is a subsidy for their electricity bills. At some point in time, I asked the Minister whether the Power Corporation would consider this. I would like to know whether or not the Minister has thought of the concept of a subsidy for seniors for electricity in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
