Thank you, Madam Chairperson. To continue on this theme of the tax-based and non-tax-based communities, especially how it related to the new deal, Madam Chairperson. I am just going to lay out something here that may be my version of what this deal is about and the Minister and his officials can correct me if I am off base on this. One of the key parts of this new deal is recognizing that non-tax-based communities need to have the discretion and the jurisdiction to make more decisions on their own, using their own money for what they feel is right for their community. This brings their status, if you will, or their degree of independence much closer to those of tax-based communities, Madam Chairperson.

My interpretation of the new deal is that we are really narrowing the field for what we have come to understand as a non-tax-based community. Not only are we narrowing the field, are we potentially going to eliminate this whole notion that there is a non-tax-based status among our communities? Have I sort of got that right so far? Is that what we are trying to do?
