Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, Mr. Speaker, it has been brought to my attention. Not wanting to cause any new businesses any problems because, obviously, if six months down the road they suddenly find out they haven't been paying the tax, they have to pay it retroactively. They may be responsible themselves. Obviously, not wishing to forego any taxes, I would like to get my hands on them as soon as possible. Just to make it easy to do business in the Northwest Territories and not have to root around for the information, I've asked the department to investigate if we can use the same sort of mechanism that WCB does or the municipal councils do with business licences, and advise new companies that they should register to pay payroll tax. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
