Thank you, Mr. Chair. Yes, the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs does try to engage with as many stakeholders as possible, and I do support that they do that work. I think it is important that we hear from all people who are affected. The Cities, Town and Villages Act was supported. The recommendations were supported by the NWT Association of Communities at an AGM. However, as soon as that AGM was finished, there were some municipalities that actually approached the department and said that they had concerns, so we did have to go back to them to hear what their concerns were. We have met with the City of Yellowknife and the tax-based communities over the last few months. They are in support of it, but we are still finishing up the piece because there are other stakeholders, as well.
I know that we have met with the Chamber of Commerce; they are in agreement with it. We are meeting with the hotel association to find out where they stand with it, so we are right at the end of the stakeholder engagement. I can promise that that legislation will be put forward before two years, and as long as there is no contention from the other side, it will be passed within two years. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
