Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment regarding the seniors' fuel subsidy. The $30,000 to $39,000 that was established as a basis for a qualification by seniors to qualify for the seniors' fuel subsidy was introduced in 1997. Since then, the cost of living has gone up dramatically, Mr. Speaker. Can the Minister commit to the people of the Northwest Territories in this House today that he will revisit the criteria, the limit of $30,000 to $39,000 for qualification of seniors? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
