Thank you, Madam Chair. My problem is it's not the minimum wage. My problem is it isolation allowance? You know, we give -- I know my CA's getting more than $25 an hour but we should be giving them isolation allowance. That's what we should be doing. So this motion here doesn't address that, especially for our constituent assistants outside of Yellowknife. So that there is where I'm -- you know, I'm already paying more than $25 an hour but isolation allowance is where the impact on -- in my riding, I have staff that, you know, my CA works with me but he could work for the government and get the same amount of money plus get the isolation allowance. So that there I think the Legislative Assembly needs to look at that for the next time. Thank you, Madam Chair.
