Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, these amendments will not impose any new taxation regime on anybody in the Northwest Territories. It simply amends the process that is currently in place that allows tax based municipalities to recover unpaid property taxes through the courts. This gives the municipalities another alternative process that still keeps the court as a last resort, but allows them to recover those property taxes through a much simpler process that can be controlled by the municipality in a much
shorter timeframe. There is no impact on aboriginal rights with respect to taxation as a result of the amendments that are before the House today. Thank you.
