It’s one thing to increase the income threshold by $10,000, but what you’re doing is putting people in a different class of fuel that they receive. I believe it’s 400 litres that they receive. If you increase their income by $10,000 they receive 400 litres to get them through the whole winter. That’s not even one-tenth of a tank. I think it’s important to realize that we have to have a system that really improves the lives of seniors in our communities and really makes a difference in their lifestyle so they don’t have to move out of their homes and go into social housing.

I’d like to ask the Minister if he will seriously take a look at different communities in the Northwest Territories, the real cost of living, and ensure that

the programs we’re delivering really make a difference in those communities.
