Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to thank the honourable Member. I have been having discussions with regard to that particular matter. I haven't brought it to my Cabinet colleagues for consideration. We have reviewed the minimum wage of the Northwest Territories compared to some other jurisdictions across the country and find that, generally speaking, there are other jurisdictions that are almost comparable to the minimum wage we have. In fact, some of the provinces are reaching the level of minimum wage we have at this time. There are some that are, in fact, higher.
