Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the concern here is that we have a lot of unilingual people who, when they get these forms, do not understand them and try to find someone to help them with these forms. To go to a professional tax filer, like we have in Iqaluit, costs $150 to $200. That is if you have all the information for them. I wonder if there is any assistance available from this government. I think it is a territorial concern because they are residents of our territory and they are residents of the Northwest Territories. They are taxpayers in the Northwest Territories and if they do not file their taxes, we do not get that revenue stream. I think there is some implication here for the Northwest Territories government. So, I would ask again, is there some type of financial assistance to help people to find these professional tax filers to help them with income tax, especially for unilingual people? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
