Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This gives me an opportunity to clear up my response yesterday to the honourable Member. The northern allowance combines the resources of the former benefits, the vacation travel and the settlement allowance. A base rate of $1,760 was used in Yellowknife and a cost of living index was used to set the remaining rates for all employees in all the other northern communities. I'm prepared to provide my colleague with the details of the index either by tabling it in this House or providing them to him by letter form. Thank you.
