Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for Finance. Recently, the federal government announced a tax credit to help Canadians offset the cost of home heating fuel and other fuel cost increases this year. However, we all know, Mr. Speaker, it is much different living on the 49th parallel than it is living where we live. We obviously need a lot more home heating fuel. It is a lot more expensive to operate in the North. Has the Minister considered this and can he tell us if he is doing anything to help Northerners offset the cost of heating their homes this winter?
