Mahsi, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Finance Minister with regard to the payroll tax that was implemented July 1. Many treaty people have approached me in the past few months about this payroll tax. There is a lot of concern about why they're paying it. I understand that the Finance Minister did have a meeting with the Dene Nation leadership. The question is, why are treaty people who work in the Northwest Territories not exempt from the one per cent payroll tax? Thank you.
