Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. (English not provided)
Mr. Speaker, this motion that has been brought forward in this House is the voice of the Northwest Territories. We have heard over and over throughout the Northwest Territories, north and south, in the most isolated communities, that this has been an issue in the past; the high cost of living and so forth. We have listened. We have brought the motion forward based on their needs. We must take it into consideration. This is not the voice of us sitting around the table here; it is those people, 43,000 people living in the North.
