Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Finance. Madam Speaker, when this House was considering the reductions in the federal tobacco tax during last winter's budget session, the Minister of Finance recommended to the Legislature that the NWT should not reduce its tobacco tax and should retain its previous levels of taxation on tobacco because our government needed the revenue.
I would like to ask the Finance Minister -- since only the other day I received another flyer urging me to buy tax-free cigarettes from a southern location at a 1-800 number, no questions asked -- if he's been tracking tobacco tax revenues since those measures were accepted by this House, including a measure to collect NWT tobacco tax. Have our tobacco tax revenues kept up, as the Minister had hoped? Thank you.
