Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Nunavut government will not have much at the beginning stages of a revenue stream other than the fiscal grant from the federal government. Mr. Speaker, at the present time, for example, liquor is shipped to the Keewatin and the Kitikmeot region from here in Yellowknife. Presently the NWT levies and collects its taxes on these shipments within this jurisdiction here in Yellowknife. After division, would the liquor be shipped directly from Yellowknife and then taxed by the Western Arctic and then taxed by Nunavut? How would that work? Mr. Todd said they have had some preliminary discussion. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
