Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I remember this very well and I brought it up in the House several months ago. It concerns me to no end that when we deal with consultations, we deal strictly with people in Yellowknife. As the Minister is aware, there are several foster care families in our region of this territory, specifically in my community, who were not consulted and find the rates to be detrimental because of the higher cost of living. That was not reflected. I wonder if the Minister will, at least in the consultative process, consult with people outside of the centre of the universe here in Yellowknife? We do have costs and less amounts and the expensive rates of living in other communities. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
