Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The new deal for community governments plan put together by our department, Municipal and Community Affairs, has a component that we'll return some of the funding, or the amount collected through property taxes in each community, to the community for the communities to use towards capital projects or other projects in the community. If the community is not collecting or is not able to collect those taxes, then only the amount that is collected for that year will be transferred over in the form of a grant. If there is a problem in recovering or collecting the taxes, we, as a department, have committed that we will continue to work with the communities to ensure that a solution is worked out. There are some communities that have had problems for some time, and the community that the Member represents, Fort Resolution, is one of them. We've offered to go in to do a new assessment, because, at our meetings with the community, there were a lot of issues that came forward, including that they didn't understand the whole property taxation assessment. There was also a concern that it was not being assessed properly. There was also the concern that the aboriginal government should not be in a position to have its members taxed through property taxation.

So there are a number of issues there that we are continually having to look at. We wanted to go in this year to do an assessment. The chief has indicated to us that he's not willing to allow us to come into the community to do an assessment. We also, at a public community meeting, offered to work with the Deninu K'ue First Nations to look at options, and up to now we have not had any feedback on that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
