I appreciate that answer.
We'd point out as well a concern we've heard about nutrition north more broadly many times throughout the course of this committee. I've had the honour of serving on it for many years now. There's been a lot of discussion around how narrow nutrition north is and how it goes to the retailers, when perhaps it should go to the transportation companies or to the individual consumers themselves. There's been a lot of discussion about how to tinker with nutrition north. I think what we've been hearing here today is that across the north there are affordability challenges, certainly with food but also beyond food.
Is it perhaps more beneficial to look at bringing up wages, whether it be through economic development, as my colleague mentioned earlier, and looking at those growth opportunities, or even, with the government spending we have now on nutrition north, perhaps repurposing it into something more clear, such as an increase to the northern allowance? Then those living in the north could have access to funds but have more freedom in how they're spent and more transparency to ensure that they're actually going towards the things they need.
