Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the cost of living in the North has always been high. Mr. Speaker, it's becoming unbearable for many families in my riding and I'm sure everyone else's. My questions today will focus on what we as a government are doing to help our citizens cope with the rising costs that are occurring. And I'm going to direct my questions to the Premier because it seems like we tend to not have to direct our questions to her a lot. So Mr. Speaker, they end up always going over here and over there. Can this government look at freezing increases, as a government as a whole look at some of the things that are a rising cost for our everyday homeowners, like power, heat, and you know, because those are all getting passed on to the consumers, which went on our groceries and everything are expensive. So as a government and as the leader of our government, will she look into freezing some of these costs to make sure that our citizens, our residents of the Northwest Territories, can make it through the winter months? Thank you
