Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for Finance, the Honourable Joe Handley. In the budget address, the Minister proposed the introduction of a highway user toll on commercial trucking in the Territories. This money raised from this toll would go into a highway trust fund. One of the dilemmas we face in the Territories is that when we increase our revenues, there is a drop in federal funding. I would like to ask the Minister, has the government looked at what implications this toll will have for federal funding on future northern developments? I wonder if the federal government will have a claw back. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
