Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as Ordinary Members, we of course are very limited in our questions over the last couple of days because of the budgets. We have to be very careful in what we ask. If that is boring to the people, who do not like fungus questions, that is all I can say.
Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my Member's statement, we have to look at other revenue-generating areas in the Northwest Territories. Over the past several months there have been discussions of different types, but nowhere, to my knowledge, has there been discussion around taxes on income from gambling, that includes lottery, video terminals, bingos and other such funds that could be used to help offset losses to Delta House and other treatment centres, have been mentioned. So my question is to the Minister of Finance. Has he looked at other alternate revenue generating sources, such as taxes on gambling, to alleviate the pain that we see in Inuvik over the closure of Delta House, and some of the other ramifications of the deficit that we have in the Northwest Territories? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
