Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I give notice that, on Monday, February 13, 2006, I will move the following motion: Now therefore I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Tu Nedhe, that this Legislative Assembly supports an increase of the northern residency deduction; and further, that this Legislative Assembly supports ongoing annual indexing of the northern residency deduction to keep pace with the cost of living; and further, Mr. Speaker, that the Premier and Minister of Finance will immediately begin work with their counterparts in the other territories and affected provinces, as well as northern Members of Parliament, to collectively make the case to the federal government to increase the northern residency deduction.

Mr. Speaker, at the appropriate time, I will seek unanimous consent to deal with this motion today. Thank you.

---Applause
