Thank you, Mr. Chairman. That is an interesting perspective. That is one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is if you take it and go back to the days when the aboriginal people of the Northwest Territories were living out in the land following the caribou, doing their thing, and the federal government comes in and brings them to the communities and says we want to educate you, come on in, sets up this government, and this government sets and develops policies and acts, and now they are enforcing the acts. Bring them in. After a while, you get them comfortable, and we will tax them now. That is the way I look at it and that is the way my people look at it. Mr. Antoine, I think you should consult the people. Thank you.
