Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I am encouraged by the faith the Finance Minister has put in me. I would just like to follow up because he has not answered my question again. Mr. Speaker, when the federal government announces tax credits based on a base salary, they use a figure of $30 or $40, but in the north because the cost of living is higher, we have a differential of 30 and 40 percent. Has the Finance Minister communicated that situation, so that indeed, more northerners could be eligible for these tax credits because they are all based on gross family incomes? Gross family incomes are a lot different from gross family incomes in the south, about a 30 percent differential. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
