What we are looking at very definitely in terms of cost of living is things related to provision of energy, power and electricity. The electrical rate review will be going to committee members and they will be able to see what is being contemplated by the folks that did the review. We’ve also been passing on significant savings to those communities that are fuelled under the GNWT, that get fuel for the PPD. As well, there have been savings transmitted and we’re continuing to work with the Refocusing committee and the Housing Corporation. We stand ready to work with communities, alternatives that are there in existing communities with housing for staff, not only necessarily for GNWT employees but municipal employees, community employees, other employees. I believe the Minister of Housing has made some suggestions to the Rural Remote committee about some of the possibilities that are there to try to improve in those areas. Thank you.
