Thank you, Madam Speaker. Yes, I am more aware now of the problem raised by the Member. I am looking at the situation, but I must tell this House, that the government has no program whereby it could send accountants into communities. I am looking at the problem. We have also been in touch with the federal Department of Revenue and sent down information with regard to the difficulty people have in filling out their tax forms, the language difficulty and I have taken the liberty of sending down copies of letters that I have sent to Mr. Pudlat in his own language, to make the federal Finance Department more aware of the problem. So I am looking at it. I don't have an answer, at the present time, but I will next week, Madam Speaker. Thank you.
