Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the question from the Member. Obviously all of us in the House think the North is a desirable place to call home, but recognize that maybe one of its disadvantages certainly is the cost of living here compared to other jurisdictions. We know that we've got to take some steps to do what we can to bring that cost of living down, not only in the bigger centres but in all of our communities, small communities, taking a number of steps looking and developing this energy plan that talks about how we can get affordable energy to people. But it's broader than that, Mr. Speaker. I along with the Minister of Education have tasked our officials to come back to us with a discussion paper on these issues. Obviously there are no easy answers, but we do need to propose some solutions to this problem that appears to be growing. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
