Thank you, Madam Chair. I just have a few comments with regard to my constituents, particularly to the Village of Fort Simpson. I know we have discussed this issue in the House as well and it's an issue because of the distinction of being taxed as non-tax-based communities. Therein lies our challenges. The Village of Fort Simpson is on the borderline. Yes, there is a tax base, but there are only 130 people and yet they are classified as a tax-based community. If they are to assess a tax of $100,000 per taxpayer, we would be okay, but the reality is that there isn't enough of a tax base there. I just wonder how the Cities, Towns and Villages Act compares with the Hamlets Act in terms of funding and taking care of these communities. Perhaps the Minister can answer that; the distinction between the Cities, Towns and Villages Act and the Hamlets Act. Thank you.
