Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman,

I MOVE that this committee recommends that the Minister of Finance address the impact of the cost of living upon seniors, the disabled and other Northerners in the fixed-low and no-income brackets.

AND FURTHER, that the Minister of Finance provide a list of options and recommendations to the Standing Committee on Accountability and Oversight on how this tax credit and other fiscal programs can be better used to improve the living standards of Northerners.

AND FURTHERMORE, this committee requests that the Minister of Finance consider implementing the appropriate measures that could be undertaken to improve living standards for Northerners in the 2002 and subsequent tax years. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
