Clearly the initiatives that we’re working on, including the cost of living, maximizing benefits for Northerners, improving services to communities, are all geared to that end. Clearly, as it was pointed by the Member for Tu Nedhe, while we have one of the hottest economies in the country and our unemployment rate is overall very low, not all communities have shared the benefits of that rapid expansion and hot economy. What we have to do is be able to create a rising tide that raises all the boats of all communities, not just a select few. That is a challenge before us, and it’s one we’re committed to working on.
