Oh, I think that it would, you know. Depends on your political ideology. It all boils down to that. I think the federal government, I suspect, would probably like to see us raise the taxes. My position has been and will stay, as long as I am in the job, that given the cost of living and the cost of operating, I am not prepared at this time to raise taxes to generate, at least certainly on the corporate or personal income tax to raise revenues. I think we need to maintain and run government more cost effectively. That is the first way in which to bring our fiscal position in order, our house in order.

If there is a requirement down the road that certainly we would not close the door. If there is a requirement down the road to look at how we would do that, I would be prepared to consider that. You know if I increased personal income taxes, by five percent that gives me roughly about $1.3 million, so that is five times 1.3 so I am going to get $8 million. Of course, I am going to aggravate every single person there is in the Northwest Territories working for a living and the cost of living associated with working for a living. So I do not think, as we move into 97/98 it would be appropriate at this time. The other thing is the volume of dollars associated with it are not significant enough to have an overall impact on our fiscal position. I think it would impede growth, not add to it. Thank you.
