Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Maybe it is time we come up with a program for low-income earners that would assist them. Mr. Speaker, many low-income people who own their own homes are hurting financially due to the soaring costs of heating fuel. I note that the Government of the Northwest Territories assisted the residents of Inuvik in changing from fuel to gas heating oil when the Ikhil gas pipeline was built through the Inuvik. As the cost of heating fuel skyrockets, will the government consider supplying similar assistance to other communities in the conversion to other forms of heat that may be more cost-efficient? Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
