Mr. Speaker, that Co-op study, the one that was done with local retailers, that was in 2002–2003. A lot has changed since then, Mr.
Speaker. The price of gas has gone up
tremendously. People can’t afford to heat their homes here in Yellowknife.
Everything that comes across that bridge, Mr. Speaker, is going to cost more. Why is it going to cost more? Because there’s going to be a toll put on transportation or transport trucks that are going across that bridge, and the cost is going to be passed on to consumers here in Yellowknife, in Behchoko, and in the rest of the North Slave Region.
And nobody in the last government and nobody in this government has shown me one iota of proof that proves me wrong, Mr. Speaker — that the cost of living here is not going to go up. I think they should come clean on that evidence too, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. When can they give us that?
