I would encourage the Minister to re-examine that issue. Take a look at how we compare with, in particular, the Alberta program, Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped, then just try and relate that to the northern cost of living. I think Northerners deserve at least the same level of support of what you can find in the province south of us.
