Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am glad the Minister clarified some of the allowables, as it were. I don't know; my gut feeling tells me it's an uncomfortable amendment. I know it's already in there, but this particular amendment is uncomfortable to me. I don't think it's really thought out. Once again, we end up in a situation where something sounds like a good idea when we discuss it in generally, but when we put it into practicalities, it just doesn't work out. I think here is another system that is just not going to work out because it's the individual, the taxpayer, who is going to end up losing out in the end. Once again, in the small communities we have taxpayers that dispute it right from the get-go, and now to further burden them with water/sewer charges or whatever other charges on their tax bill...The Minister said it himself. They won't be getting water and sewer if they aren't paying it in the first place, so I don't know.

There are people already disputing their land taxes in the small communities I represent, and to further burden their cause by adding water and sewer charges, I just don't see what type of dispute mechanism the department is willing to put into this. Why are we just going to abdicate all of the responsibility? What kind of mechanism is going to be in place? Thank you.
