Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We’ve

heard from many constituents that this is not dealing with just high income earners. Many people across the Northwest Territories felt that the northern residents deduction has lacked any vigour or rigor to deal with the issues of the day. They always say the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

To ensure there are no blurred lines here, what is the Premier prepared to do during this fiscal year and federal election to get the Government of Canada to increase northern residents deduction? Thank you.
