Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I asked that question in relation to my understanding that Giant Mine went to the city and asked them to forgive their taxes and the city turned them down. The city was well aware when they turned them down that it could affect Giant's leverage, so I do not understand why the city, if they really want to keep Giant around, did not support Giant as well. I know this is not a question for the Minister, but it does reflect on whether or not the people of Yellowknife really want Giant around.
They would have made some effort to keep them. It does send some doubt to me, Mr. Chairman, as to whether I should approve this expenditure. Someone else should indicate that they are willing to keep Giant here as well and throw some money in the pot. I would just like to say that I am going to be passing this clause, but very reluctantly and only with the knowledge that we are in a surplus situation, so that I can address the community issues with the surplus. I will accept the Minister's explanation.
