Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to resume debate on the motion that I brought forward last week, especially considering that the member for the Northwest Territories is with us today and considering also a recent statement by the deputy premier of the Northwest Territories. We mentioned Premier R.J. Simpson previously.
These are the comments by the deputy premier:
“I get that people are a bit frustrated and anxious,” she said. “I think a lot of people have some frustration about the fact that we are recently, in the last few weeks here, into a very particularly cold season. People are using more heating fuel now.”
“The cost of heating fuel is itself volatile, and that’s not something that I have any control over, it’s only the tax on top of that,” she added.
In that spirit—
