Thank you, Mr. Chairman. All residents in the Northwest Territories or all property owners in the Northwest Territories are assessed. A portion of their taxes is attributed to education. The tax rates in the general taxation area are significantly lower than they are in the city of Yellowknife. I suspect years ago that might not have been quite as noticeable a situation as it is now. It would be an initiative of the Minister of Finance, if there were to be any consideration to raising taxes in the general taxation area.
