Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to point out to the Minister that when we make contributions to families with low incomes through the NWT child benefit, we are trying to improve the quality of life. When we take that money out of a program, any program that calculates this as income, especially a program such as harmonization, we are defeating the whole purpose. The end result is neutral. So does the Minster actually believe that these programs work together or are they conflicting programs? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
