Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As the honourable colleague said, it is the centre of the universe, according to our colleagues from Yellowknife who represent this House. We use Yellowknife because it is a base on which to determine the cost of living. We then provide an incremental addition to the base for Inuvik, for Iqaluit, and elsewhere. Yellowknife was picked because it has one of the lowest cost-of-living levels across the Territories.
