As a government we subsidize the cost of living in the Northwest Territories to the tune of approximately $200 million annually and the food subsidy program goes directly to food retailers in 11 communities, Paulatuk, Sachs Harbour, Ulukhaktok, Tuktoyaktuk,

Aklavik, Norman Wells, Fort Good Hope, Tulita, Deline, Colville Lake and Trout Lake and a partial subsidy goes to Whati, Lutselk’e and Gameti. Our government provides approximately $1 million towards nutritional education programs. Thank you.
