Mr. Chairman, Bill 10, An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act, would increase the rate of income tax paid by people in the Northwest Territories to the Government of the Northwest Territories from 44 per cent to 45 per cent of federal tax. Mr. Chairman, the purpose is to bring us closer into line with the average across Canada. There is always pressure upon us from the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs, which provides our funding, to bring up our tax rates, which are the lowest in Canada at the present time. That is the purpose of the bill, Mr. Chairman. Thank you.
