Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I, too, share the vision of the Minister in maintaining the great beauty of the North. It is just that, Mr. Speaker, once again, we are taxing our residents to implement this program. We are already paying taxes to our government to take care of our land and our future. Now we are asking them to pay more taxes. It is truly taxation legislation. I am fundamentally opposed to that. Once again, is there room for the Minister to defer and delay this legislation until we come up with a better plan we can offer the people of the NWT? Thank you very much.
