When it comes to the cost of living, the purchase of fuel is very important for the small communities. The fuel is delivered once a year. They use it for hunting and trapping, they have to use it to heat their homes, especially in the wintertime, and these are fixed costs.
I’m asking the Minister: Will this government consider some kind of special subsidy, because the local prices are falling, they are almost down to $1.04 in Alberta and I know that eventually it will hit Yellowknife and our smaller communities that they will be reducing the costs. I would like to know, people in the small communities are trapped and once the gas prices and fuel prices start declining,
can this government do something to help our people? Thank you.
