Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Finance with regard to the concerns that the smaller communities, especially the communities that I represent like Aklavik, with respect to the high cost of living. In a lot of these communities, they have seen major increases, especially in the heating fuel costs, gasoline and their power bills. I would like to ask the Minister exactly what this government is doing to ensure that those communities will not see the majority of the benefits flowing from his budget, but will be able to ensure those communities that there is some protection for trying to find ways to bring down those high costs associated with living in those small communities.
