Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Minister had mentioned about impacts and I'd like to lay a couple facts down. I have the annual inflation rate, which is from a Canadian web site for the federal government, and it said since 1988 inflation went up 147 percent in the Northwest Territories; since 1991, on the last $75 adjustment on that northern deduction, it's gone up 126 percent. So, Mr. Speaker, would this Finance Minister tell me today and make that commitment that he's going to put it as one of our top priorities in the next Finance Ministers' meeting, this northern deductions issue, to seek national support to bring forward a united front to the federal government? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
