Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Today I talked about the cost of living and its impact on residents in smaller communities. I would like to follow up the statement with questions to the Premier.
Mr. Speaker, in the Premier’s Budget Address, he specifically acknowledged the cost-of-living issue and talked about “taking action to provide long-term solutions to address this reality.” I’d like to ask the Premier: what actions within the context of the small-community issue is he referring to with the mention of long-term solutions? What time frames has he identified in these areas?
