Mr. Chairman, to lower the fuel tax on gasoline, and I think the Member is referring only to gasoline from 10.7 down to 6.4 percent, would cost us $1.7 million to $2 million. If we were not in a deficit situation, then it would definitely be something that we should be considering. But we are in a deficit situation as a government and I am just not sure it is wise for us to build up that debt through this kind of move and pass on the cost of it to future generations here. I have to say no. No, I would not commit today to lowering it down to the Nunavut rate or to the Yukon rate. I think we have held the line since 1997 and we will keep it that way.
I might add that off-highway use, or in communities that are off-highway, gasoline is taxed at 6.4 which is the same as the Nunavut one. So they basically have it the same as ours, except they do not have highways. At this point, no, I could not commit to lowering it. We can not afford it right now. Thank you.
