Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question today is for the Minister of Finance. It is about the tax credit he announced would be coming forward. I am concerned about the highway toll and the actual cost of it. Some groups are now starting to come out in support of it, thinking that the cost will be offset by the tax credit. I tabled a document the other day in which Mr. Handley says, "The net increase for average citizens in the North should be nil." I am worried the department will move to a position of, we recognize the credit will not entirely offset the cost, but it is reasonable to ask residents to contribute to this highway infrastructure because they will get the benefits. Will the Minister confirm that the net should be no increase for the average citizens of the North?
