Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there is a Tlicho tax agreement that is in place and recognizes the power of the Tlicho to enact laws for the Tlicho government proposed in relation to direct taxation of Tlicho citizens on Tlicho lands and in Tlicho communities. That's the clause you were referring to, I believe. The government tacks powers on the Tlicho agreement, clause 7.4.5. If that's the question, the Tlicho final agreement recognizes the power of the Tlicho government to enact the laws the Tlicho government proposed in relation to direct taxation of Tlicho citizens on Tlicho lands and in Tlicho communities. Tlicho in clause 7.5.11 clarifies for greater certainty that these powers are concurrent with the powers of the federal and territorial governments. Thank you.
