Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I guess what I'm getting at here is if you think about how far $3,833 goes a month in the Northwest Territories, that cut-off seems way too low, Mr. Speaker. Think of a single income parent with three or four children living in public housing trying to make ends meet on forty-some thousand a year. Why haven't we considered a higher cut off rate? Thank you.
