Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The federal budget did announce a $2.5 billion, one-time adjustment to the Canada Health and Social Transfer. The Government of the Northwest Territories' share of that money, as the Member has noted, is approximately $3.4 million. This is one-time money. That money is to cover health, social costs and post-secondary education.
Mr. Speaker, our ongoing costs are higher than that. The amount of the adjustment is not enough to meet the increasing expenses we face in the Northwest Territories. Thank you.
