Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question this afternoon is for Mr. Handley, the Premier, and they're in connection with the motion that this Assembly passed last February, Mr. Speaker, on the northern residence income tax deduction. Mr. Speaker, in that motion we asked the Premier and the Finance Minister to get in touch with their counterparts in our sister territories, as well as in northern provinces and Ottawa, to gage their interest and their commitment in approaching Ottawa to increase the northern residence income tax deduction, Mr. Speaker; something that has not been addressed since 1991 and something that could, in a very significant way, make a big difference for everyone living in the North to address the high cost of living. Mr. Speaker, has the Premier been able to follow through on this request to make contact with their counterparts and what has the reaction been? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
