Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This issue has been raised by different Members, especially the Infrastructure Committee and Members of this House, concerning the disparity in taxes and burden on individuals in tax base communities and those that reside in general taxation area communities. For these reasons, the department has decided to undertake a comprehensive review of its financial relationship with the communities. We have invited NWTAM to participate. This review is scheduled for 1997, this year. The draft terms of this reference for this review are being

developed. We are aware of the concerns that the Members are bringing forward in this area. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
