Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No discussions have been undertaken by my officials with respect to the concern raised by my honourable colleague from Iqaluit, on the clear need, as he perceives it, for bilingual services on the income tax situation. Income tax is a federal responsibility. However, I am prepared to, if he so wishes, draft some kind of correspondence indicating the problems that we have where many of our constituents are of a unilingual nature and, unfortunately, due to the remoteness of our constituencies, do not have the ability to access the necessary expertise to assist them in their filling out their income tax forms at the end of each fiscal year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
