Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Finance. It has come to my attention that people in remote communities should not be paying the GST. The problem is that the community has to apply for some sort of status in order to achieve this. In times of financial difficulties and restraint that we're in, I believe that it is our responsibility -- if this is true -- to help these communities achieve this status. Will the Minister of Finance commit to assisting these communities in attaining GST-exempt status if it is possible to attain?
