Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So I guess the bottom line is these community governments are going to receive this tax revenue and they're going to be receiving a grant-in-lieu of these taxes that are supposedly collected and administered by the territorial government. But the territorial government hasn't collected any taxes yet and they're still having a hard time collecting anything out of these communities. Is the government just passing the buck on to the community level and saying, well, we can't collect the taxes so you might as well collect the taxes? We still have the issue of the outstanding taxes, not to mention the taxes for the upcoming years of 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 when this new deal rolls out. How is a community's financial status going to be able to stand if they are just handed a $160,000 outstanding bill from the government saying you have to collect taxes for the next 20 years and it all comes back to the government, or they just don't get any grants?

What is the government going to do to ensure that the communities are going to get a fair deal and a new deal with reference to their outstanding arrears? How is the Department of Finance going to address that?
