Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It is clear that I wasn't sure whether the Member was referring to the federal new deal or the Government of the Northwest Territories new deal. Mr. Speaker, our implementation date is actually 2007. We would like to have our communities starting to work as municipal taxation municipalities. We have a number of initiatives that we still have to develop. This is still in the early stages. We have committed to do some things upfront as I mentioned before about the property taxes being transferred over in terms of a grant. We have a lot of work in terms of assessing what each community is capable of handling and what they are going to need in terms of resources and capacity development. There is still a lot of work yet. This is an initiative that requires continual attention for the next while. As we develop and decide on what we will incorporate as part of this initiative, we will release it. Thank you.
