Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is a very small amendment. This amendment makes a small change to the Income Tax Act to allow the Government of the NWT to delegate to Revenue Canada the authority to remit personal income taxes, in some situations, where the federal taxes are also remitted. This will reduce the administrative cost of making remission orders for this government in a small number of cases when they are issued. Only three income tax remission orders totalling $4,600 have been issued in the past six years. Remission orders are usually used to assist taxpayers when a very strict interpretation of the Income Tax Act would result in an unfair tax burden. That is it, Mr. Chairman. It is a very minor change which we discussed in the committee. Thank you.
