Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will keep this fairly brief, and I'll just go back to some comments that some other Members had in that it's only going to cost a box of doughnuts; $7.54 a year or whatever. In the Minister's opening remarks, he talks of the basic level of that tax bracket that you'll see an increase of $7.54. At the beginning of the upper tax bracket of $110,000, you'll see an increase of $227. Mr. Chairman, those numbers paint the rosiest picture possible. I've done the math on what the government is intending to raise, and if you do the math on that tax bracket; that first tax bracket averages out to $67.56 per taxpayer. If you go to the highest tax bracket it looks like it averages out to roughly $780, Mr. Chairman. So I don't know why we don't put all the numbers on the table and call it like it is.

I mentioned earlier, numbers seem to change around here on a weekly basis, and I just want to make sure that the residents of the Northwest Territories and folks who are affected...There are 4,600 taxpayers who are going to be impacted by the decision here to raise the rate on these higher two income tax brackets, and I think they have a right to know what the average taxpayer is going to pay and, Mr. Chairman, it's a heck of a lot more than what's in the Minister's opening comments. Thank you.
