Thank you. I have a question about the payroll tax. We have talked in the past about trying to find some way to generate revenue from people who work in the Northwest Territories and fly back south, filing income tax in the south, living in the south. One of the things that has been suggested in the past was to raise the payroll tax. We have a means for making an adjustment to help Northerners. There is the northern tax credit. I believe this is the same thing that we are talking about using to offset the tolls. We seem to want to make the argument that we cannot raise payroll tax to three or five percent because this would affect people's mobility rights.

I am a little unclear as to whether or not it is the raising of this payroll tax which would affect everybody who works in the Northwest Territories, which does not seem to infringe on anybody's rights yet, or if it is the tax credit to only northern residents that is then the infringement. Could the Minister explain to me where we think we would be violating somebody's Charter rights?
