Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With the increases in fares and freight on groceries in the smaller communities, the fly-in communities are hit the hardest. Where they used to get five bags of groceries, now they are getting only three bags of groceries. I would like to ask the Minister if he can give direction to his department and staff that anytime there is an increase, they will look at where the need is most. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
