Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I appreciate that, but I still don't know whether that whole community planning process has been resolved. I have copies of the maps where they have designated certain areas as residential areas and commercial areas. I would prefer that the lots along the river banks be designated as residential areas. As long as the community is resolving that, we will have to wait and see.
The other thing, too, Mr. Chairman, is under the new tax law, the reserve, although it has exemptions in some areas these wouldn't apply any more to reserve residents who are on payrolls outside the reserve. It is still the same for establishments on the reserve who have payrolls going out of the reserve. I wanted to mention that. I realize the forestry operation is now in Hay River. In order to be tax exempt in any way, they have to be physically on the reserve.
I believe the department is now looking at a seven year contract with Evergreen Forestry. I appreciate that. Perhaps in your plans you may want to look at relocating so that the operation is actually in the town. And, of course, it will cost the government less because if tax doesn't apply, perhaps the operation would also cost less. Just give it some thought. Kakisa is requesting that they have a special crew there, too. That is under O and M. It has been agreed to by Evergreen, I understand. Just give it your best. Thanks.
