Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’ve raised the issue of cost of living with the Prime Minister, and he’s indicated that he would prefer that we take a pan-territorial approach. In doing so, we would also have to engender support from I believe it’s six other provinces that benefit from the Northern Residents Tax Deduction.

With regard to specific postal rates, that’s set by the federal Crown agency and we would have to try to engender some support and make representation to the Government of Canada.
