Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I thank the Minister for that response. I would like to ask one other question of the Minister with regard to taxation. I understand that in other jurisdictions and in particular the United States, the average citizen can now claim mortgage payments on their tax statements. In other words, they can show it as an expense on taxes. Obviously this would benefit all people of the Northwest Territories. I wonder if the government would give any consideration to this if the government was in favour of this move? Could the government open some kind of discussion with the federal government on this possibility? Thank you.
