Thank you, Madam Chair. As we continue our work on researching options for the seniors and disabled property tax relief act, it would be our objective to try to be as consistent as possible with how seniors programs are being looking at across the spectrum within the Government of the NWT. There is considerable interest in supporting elders to age in place within their own homes. We are live to the issue that we want seniors to stay in their homes for longer periods of time. Ultimately, at the end of the day, any discussion about means testing for the tax benefit on this would be done within a comprehensive review, consistent with other seniors programs within the government. Thank you, Madam Chair.
