Mr. Speaker, a licence fee would be a fee that would be charged to an individual for them to hold a licence to perform something in the NWT where the government had jurisdiction. That licence fee would only be charged to individuals or companies who had that privilege with this government.
A tax is a much broader thing, and it may effect a commodity such as gasoline. It may effect a certain group of people such as those people who are earning money, and that would be an income tax. So I would say that the difference would be that taxes are a much broader issue affecting commodities or the status of people who are working, whereas a fee, particularly in the case of a licence, would apply to a company or a person who had a privilege to do something where the government had jurisdiction.
