Imperative that accurate and updated cost of living calculations are made available to decision-makers
Advocacy required with additional government offices (Public Services Ministry, Federal Reserve Bank)
Opportunity to build on emergency plan to pay health workers
Sense of growing hope with new Unity government that may translate to funds
