Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The conversations with the federal government, I mention their name as well because I think the Member's right, every time we mention their name somebody pays attention and I do think that those conversations need to be ongoing, not only in this government here but carrying on. We've experience some of the most highest cost of living in Canada, and I have constantly told the federal Ministers that we deserve to have the same standard of living as every other Canadian. I'll continue that message as far as we go on.
As for specific on the carbon tax that Minister Wawzonek will be attending; we're actually planning on going back to Ottawa again, talking about the next budget, hoping that we get increases to the Northwest Territories. I can't say what we will be doing in the future. I do know that we've done increases to help people such as the home heating. I know that we haven't raised taxes in this government yet. And it's tough, because I hear every day, and I want to help too, saying increase programs, increase money to programs. And I want the same thing. But, Mr. Speaker, if we don't get money from the federal government and we don't increase taxes and we don't have any income, then we also have to say do we stay with what we have? Because I'm not happy with that either. I don't have the answers, Mr. Speaker, but I do hope that everybody's part of the solution. And like I said, my direction to Cabinet is to look at those most vulnerable to start with, look at those who are going to suffer the most to start with. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
