Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, indeed we talk about a basic rate as where we'd start from, but we'd also look at, for example, the cost of living index is one of those things that would play a factor as it does in many of our programs that we already deliver on part of people across the North. Looking at our income support programs is one of those ways we can include it. So that has been incorporated into it, but what we find now is there's so many different ways out there. There's a need to come up with a basic amount, deal with some of the special needs areas and adjust it according to costs across the North. Thank you.
