Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The problem with the two-tier system happens to be the age issue. It's a difference between the age rather than on-road, off-road. There's a situation where there is a minimum wage for a group of individuals at a certain age and below and another age and above. That's the area of concern we have. However, I won't debate that matter.

The concern is, Mr. Speaker, other than having reviewed the documentation myself and having discussions with the department -- and I must say, Mr. Speaker, that we're in favour of the idea of raising the minimum wage -- we have not heard any arguments from Members of the Assembly recommending that possibility to us.

So, we are inclined to stay at the minimum with the exception that -- personally, I don't have a concern as a Minister -- other jurisdictions across the country are in fact at the same level or above our minimum wage. The fact is that the cost of living for the people of the Northwest Territories is much higher than other jurisdictions. If the honourable Member would wish to make the recommendation and give that advice, I would be inclined to approach the business community with a view that we are seriously considering the increase.
