So it is the opinion of the Minister of Finance, then, that it would be up to the Dene Nation to incur the bulk of the cost if they were to challenge this government. Has the government charged the Dene Nation with regard to their Payroll Tax Act?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Renewable Resources. Madam Speaker, I understand that Canada's Environment Ministers are meeting this week in Bathurst, New Brunswick to discuss a national strategy on reducing carbon pollution. I was wondering if the Minister could advise whether or not our government has taken a position on this issue.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. The Department of Renewable Resources, as far as the environment is concerned, has created some guidelines, but no enforceable regulations. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Supplementary, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I understand that one of the things that will be discussed at the meeting in Bathurst this week will be consideration of an energy tax to force people to cut fuel consumption. Given the impact this may have on northern residents, has the Minister advised the Canadian government that this government would not be in support of such a measure?

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I will investigate and find out as much information as I can about this. I believe the department probably does have some information, including those from lobby groups and from those who may be in favour of this type of fee. At this time, I don't have the information, but I will endeavour to find the information and pass it on to the Minister of the Environment. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Kelvin Ng Kitikmeot
Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Safety and Public Services and it has to do with the electrical permits that contractors have to get to have their meters hooked up by the Power Corporation, particularly in the Kitikmeot because we don't have an electrical inspector based there. I would like to ask the Minister what is the normal process and time frame for an individual who needs a meter hooked up. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'm not certain we are the ones responsible for the meter hook-ups. I believe we are responsible for the safety component. It is the Power Corporation that is actually responsible for meter hook-ups.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I recognize that the Power Corporation does the hook ups, but in order for them to do that, they have to have an electrical permit from the electrical inspectors office, which is under his jurisdiction. It is that process that I'm referring to, Madam Speaker. Thank you.
