Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is to Minister Todd, the Minister responsible for the Financial Management Board. In his address to the House today, under Collective Bargaining, the Minister touched on northern living allowances. Back on May 22nd and again on June 4th, I asked questions of the Minister regarding the Northern Living Allowance for GNWT employees who were living in Yellowknife. I pointed out to the Minister at that time, that there were employees in Yellowknife who did not get an increase in the Northern Living Allowance from the old agreement, even though there were other communities where the cost of living was lower than in Yellowknife and they did get an increase.

I believe at that time, the Minister had agreed that did not sound reasonable and he was going to look into the situation. My question Mr. Speaker is, has the Minister had an opportunity to look into this inequity in the Collective Agreement? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
