Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think in the long run, the things that will bring down the cost of living are a healthier economy, free competition, more supply to meet the demands of goods. As long as there is one store that brings goods from thousands of miles away and they charge whatever they want, things are not going to go down. We need to create sustainable economies, and I am not hearing how...and housing issues. Lack of development and ability of this government or anybody to bring the cost of housing down, and I am not hearing any talks from the Premier or the Minister or anybody with aboriginal governments and leadership in the North about how we do bread and butter issues rather than spending all our time talking about big ticket items, which is important but can't be done in isolation and separation from the rest of the bread and butter issues. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
