Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Employment, the Honourable Jake Ootes.

As I mentioned in my Member's statement, it is known that the cost of living for Northerners will increase. The airport tax has been introduced and all the airlines are talking about increasing air and freight rates.

Mr. Speaker, if and when the highway toll is implemented, Northerners will have additional costs. Does the Minister plan to increase income support payments to reflect increases in the cost of living for those who receive it? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
