Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Ministers of Finance, previous ones and the current one, do set the general mill rates across the Territories for tax-based communities. It's my understanding that this particular education mill rate increase, that the mill rates have only risen twice since they were instituted in 1967; by 10 per cent in 1987 and 10 per cent in 1992. I believe the recent increase was the last one that we increased. So they've increased twice since 1967. The recent increase that the Member alludes to is in the editorials of the newspapers this week. Thank you.
