Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, it is happening because the payroll tax is tax that is based on legislation passed through this House and applied to people in the Northwest Territories. The Dene Nation are employers in the Northwest Territories and are, therefore, required to register and pay tax on employees' earnings, deduct them and pass them onto the Government of the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
