Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One further point is regarding local property taxes. The three that we talked about, Mr. Speaker, are within the top three or four on a list of criticisms or areas of change that CFIB is looking for. There is a trend or tendency in the rest of Canada, Mr. Speaker, for provincial authorities to download responsibilities to municipal levels. The CFIB says while its membership does not see this happening today in the NWT, it is very worried that this could be something we will want to do. I want to ask the Minister of Finance is it at all an intention of this government to download the responsibility for services and costs to municipalities? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
