Thank you. Just to clarify the matter, actually the problem exists for status Indians as well as, what you might say, are status Inuit. Generally speaking, the individuals who are not paying taxes at this time are non-status people in the

Northwest Territories, mainly because the manner by which we provide assistance to those students is through a forgivable loan. Therefore, it is not taxable. What we are now doing, at this particular juncture, is researching how we might bring forward a legal argument to the federal government about alleviating the taxes.

There is also a form that should be filled out by every student, indicating their status. If they are status Indian, there is a tax form that is available to them. What is occurring is most of the students aren't filling out those forms. But, I can assure you, Mr. Arvaluk, that we will be advising all the students this year about those forms that are available, so they can fill them out and have their names registered by the federal Government of Canada, so they don't have to pay taxes on student financial assistance.
