In Hay River, both Mayor Duncan McNeill and Duane Morgan of the Hay River Chamber of Commerce spoke against the implementation of a hotel room tax. Likewise, in Inuvik, Mayor Peter Clarkson told the committee his council was opposed to the hotel room tax. Mayor Clarkson encouraged the government to look for other sources from within their current budget and if that was not possible, he urged the government to look at their priorities and search for further opportunities to save money. It was also suggested that any money generated in a region from the tax be reinvested in that region.
