Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just to be clear, clause 7.45 of the final agreement recognizes the power of the Tlicho government to enact laws and part of that is direct taxation of Tlicho citizens on Tlicho lands and in Tlicho communities. It doesn't have the power to tax non-Tlicho citizens with one exception. It can do so through agreement. The Tlicho agreement is permissive in that way. Governments can enter into agreements to share tax. It allows for those negotiations. It doesn't prescribe that there must be an agreement, only that negotiations may occur in that respect. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
