Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, in the previous Assembly I raised a concern, coming from a tax-based community, where through taxes on our properties end up paying for the majority of services and infrastructure that comes into our community. For example, a rec centre in a tax-based community, I will need some information on here. About 20 percent of the transfers and then the taxpayers cover the rest of it. There is a block portion. That affects your taxes in a sense. You end up paying more taxes. I would like to get information on that. I have heard the concerns of non-tax-based communities. In the tax base, and I know that the Minister made reference to Yellowknife being different because they have their own evaluators and so on. I know the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs has done work in my community, and they have gone to the town and adjusted some of the limits. That has impacted how you read the taxes and the tax roll. For my community, and the other tax-based communities, are they the same and how are they treated differently? What would a three bedroom home and the property that is 80 by 100 in a tax-based community pay versus a non-tax-based community? Thank you.
