I think it’s creative things like that that we need to look at. We need to be attracting people here, and we need to be competitive. So we need to be looking at everything.
One of the things I was hoping to ask the Minister today, and I think he’s heard it loud and clear…. There’s no appetite, whether in Yellowknife, Inuvik, Fort Smith or Hay River for that matter, for tax increases that are going to add to the cost of living here in the Northwest Territories. There’s absolutely no appetite for it. It’s already expensive enough to live here.
I’m wondering if the Minister could commit to taking the proposed initiatives that will increase the cost of living for our residents and putting them on the shelves for the time being. Let’s start discussing some other options. Those ones have no place here.
