Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to the department officials for coming today.
The first thing I want to talk about is the difference between urban and the more isolated rural communities. As we're all aware, we see a lot of industry or local businesses sponsoring teams or various activities, but we don't see that same sort of fairness in the north. Obviously, there are a lot fewer businesses. They don't have the same opportunity.
I was just curious. Is there an adjustment to compensate for more urban settings compared to the rural, isolated communities? Can you just say briefly what the department is doing to compensate?
