Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today goes to the Minister of Finance. I would like to follow up on my Member's statement earlier today. Mr. Speaker, I indicated yesterday on some of the gaps and inequities in the rebate policy that is resulting in excluding a number of residents in our city of Yellowknife who could really do with a break on the fuel price.
Today I talked about the commercial operators who will be excluded from this, and the fact that, Mr. Speaker, I want to add that fuel tax in the Northwest Territories is the highest in the country, or one of the highest, and the GNWT is the biggest victim of that. It pays most of the tax.
My question to the Minister is whether or not, would he not consider giving himself a break and reducing the fuel tax? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
