Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I appreciate the answer from the Premier. I mean, it certainly goes a long way of appreciating the complexity of this issue. The bottom line is, how are we putting more money in Northerners’ pockets? It had been frozen at approximately $5,400 for decades and finally migrated by 10 percent to just above $6,000 in 2008. The bottom line is, how do we get money in Northerners’ pockets, because we know more money in a family’s pocket is really going out into the community to buy that Klik, my colleague from the Sahtu had said, whether it’s buying gasoline for their skidoos, or buying their children presents and helping to pay that costly rent and stuff. It’s initiatives like this the Government of the Northwest Territories can shelter the cost of it a little better by letting working people keep some of their working money.
Would the Premier re-examine it from that analysis, that if we can get more money in Northerners’ pockets, no doubt they’ll be spending it in our economy where it’s exactly where we would be doing it anyway?
