Then it's not going to be a decision that was.... I think the promise was that decisions were going to be given to the territories to make themselves, but I'll move on.
My last question is about home heating.
Northern families are worried about how they're going to get through this winter. Some families could be paying more than $7,000 this year just to heat their homes. We've been in touch with a single mother who's working two jobs in the Yukon and was recently hit with an $1,800 fuel bill to fill her tank to start the winter. That tank will have to be filled three more times before the winter is done. This is why we asked the Prime Minister in question period about removing the carbon tax on home heating. All we get back is that it's a luxury and that it needs to be taxed.
Minister, I think you know that heating a home to stay warm this winter is certainly not a luxury to northerners. Families literally have to make a decision between turning up the thermostat to stay warm and buying food.
What's your response to the removal of carbon tax on home heating?
