Mr. Speaker, the private rates in Yellowknife are imposed by a private firm. There is no doubt there is possibly a need to provide parking for the residents of Yellowknife, but across the territories there is a lot of room and a private enterprise would go broke if they brought forth parking fees to park a vehicle. There is a lot of room in many of the communities. This is why I can not understand why this government is trying to implement a user-fee system for parking.
This fee is being imposed on my constituents at a rate of $30 a month right across the board, for $360 a year. It is a burden, especially on single people. I would like to ask the Minister if he would review -- since he has already said that it hasn't been implemented in a fair manner -- this parking fee for the communities of the territories, with the view that if it is needed it be done in a fair manner? Thank you.
