Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I've already tabled some examples of the unfairness of the new allowance. Yesterday I asked the Minister how these northern allowances were calculated. Mr. Speaker, his answer was based on criteria set, escalator and the cost of living allowance. That was good to hear. However, Mr. Speaker, if that is the case, then what cost-of-living figures did the department use to base their decision on? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
