Taxation obviously poses problems in the Northwest Territories and maybe this is just the tip of the iceberg. Since governments depend on taxes for revenue to provide its programs, I would like to ask the Minister, is that one of the reasons why we are looking to alternatives to taxes for the provision of services in the Northwest Territories, as referred to earlier when the Premier responded to my question about the proposal to look at alternative tax systems for providing schools and so on?
