Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I guess as everybody in the room is well aware, over the past couple of weeks when we were going over the budgets, that forced growth consumes millions and millions of government dollars that we have to deal with. A lot of points came up by a lot of Members saying that maybe we should put some belt tightening measures on forced growth. Something like this tax initiative, although it's regrettable that I would have to support something like this, I know that our fiscal framework taken into consideration is something that we're just going to have to do.
All I'm just wondering and I'm really concerned about is the amount of leverage that a taxation increase like this is going to put in the hands of the Public Service Alliance. Any three percent forced growth right across the board on the GNWT, in the GNWT books, equates to a lot more than $1 million a year. So I don't want to throw caution to the wind I guess, but I just want to let the Minister know that something like this could have some real high impacts as far as coming back to us and everybody in the PSA saying we're paying more taxes and we need more money. You're the ones who increased the cost of living for us. Something like that concerns me because I think just the forced growth alone in the government is just exorbitantly high. I think this will add to that forced growth and give them more reason to say we need more money because of these new tax initiatives, which ultimately affect I would say a high percentage of the GNWT employees because of the fact that in that tax bracket I know a lot of private individuals and small businesses don't even make near $80,000 a year. Ultimately anybody who is in the government I think would probably be at the $60,000 to $70,000 after just a few years in the government. I'm just wondering, just a point of concern, I guess, that maybe...
