Again, I would like to thank the Minister for that good news, and I would like to get it out even further. The wage top-up program really, Mr. Speaker, is a clear sign that our minimum wage is way too low. I know we are going to be doing a review of the minimum wage. We have also got evidence about a living wage, conducted by an NGO, that says it needs to be a lot higher. Can the Minister agree to support a permanent increase to the NWT minimum wage to $18 per hour or higher?
