Mr. Speaker, as I said in my Budget Address yesterday, I am bringing legislation forward. That in itself will create the opportunity for consultation. Beyond that, I intend to discuss this personally with anyone who wants to discuss it with me. The Department of Finance and the Department of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, tourism division, will also be doing some consultation. To answer the question, yes, I am prepared to do much consultation on this over the next year. The tax is not scheduled to come into place until April 1, 2001. Thank you.
