Mr. Speaker, as I said previously, we expect the person that is the registered owner of the property to pay it. We have established an oversight committee which is chaired by the Minister of ENR. We don't have a formal seat on it as MACA, but we provide advice. This government is very clear that our position is that INAC is the registered owner. By federal legislation, by the payment in lieu of taxes legislation, that is federal government legislation. They are required to do so. We expect them to do so. We have no tenure to land at this point. We have been waiting for confirmation that the federal government will do so. The city has been growing very impatient. We continue to push the issue. However, as of lately, we haven't been able to confirm it. Thank you.
