Mr. Speaker, we are evaluating, right now, the impact of the federal bill on people in the Northwest Territories. I do not think that it was a surprise, they had talked about it for some time and Members will note that in our budget we do have a tax credit system that will be in place next year. That tax credit system is adjustable with enough notice, Mr. Speaker, and we do have the ability to compensate people of lower income if they are adversely effected. So, we are actively considering it, Mr. Speaker, thank you.
