Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The subsidy that is given to individuals now appears to be on the current rate that is being applied here in Yellowknife. In my constituency, I know that our electricity rates are a lot lower than Yellowknife because we have an abundance of power, even though we have to pay for the low water surcharge. In fact, seniors and the people of Fort Smith don't really get a subsidy for electricity. I would like to ask the Minister whether or not she would consider reviewing the concept of creating a subsidy program for seniors and, possibly, passing on the idea to the NWT Power Corporation. Thank you.
