Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just as an example, in a previous home I owned in Inuvik, and this is a number of years ago, but I paid approximately $1,200 a year for property taxes in my community. I know the community itself sets its own mill rate. If we want more facilities, we are going to increase the taxes, and when the government makes cutbacks, they increase the mill rate because we need to keep the infrastructure in the community. We are stuck in that situation. If you do a comparison of that, and I used about an 80 by a 100 lot, my old piece of property, and valued by the town, and because there are more services I pay more tax. If you looked at a property adjacent or close to the same size in a tax-based/non-tax-based, what would the difference be? Thank you.
