Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the assessment went out to all the property owners in the Northwest Territories. To try to alleviate the problems, or deal with the problems, different individuals may have with the assessment, a Board of Revision, which is an independent body to receive complaints and to deal with each complaint as they come. That is the process that we have in place to try to deal with this issue right now. The honourable Member is asking the department to take another look at how the assessment was done, and to raise concerns I am hearing here today by different Members representing their small communities. We will do that. I have been asking the department myself because a 300 to 400 percent increase in the assessment is quite drastic. The information I share with you is the information I receive. It is a legislative process as well, however, we will review the system, the way they have come to the numbers that they have. I raise the concern that you have with my Members in the department who are dealing with this. Thank you.
