Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of the guiding principles in the harmonization, and the reason why we proposed a deferral, is to take a comprehensive approach to how we want to deal with all seniors across the NWT.

I think when the Member expresses those details, we need to comply with that request because we did talk to several seniors. Some indicated support for the program and others indicated they were not in support. We need to look at it overall and come back to the Members with some certainty as to how the seniors feel and where they would be most impacted. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
