Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have to say that this is a motion that is important to everybody in the Northwest Territories as we approach that period of time where we are going to be filling out our income tax and realizing that little bit of savings that we put together that is going to have to go to pay for the shortfall on taxes that we have to pay out to the federal government and to the territorial government. That affects everybody. That affects all of us.

Mr. Speaker, we, on this side of the House, certainly support this motion and support all of the elements of the motion. But, Mr. Speaker, we will not be voting on this motion only because this is direction to the government. Mr. Speaker, I want to reinforce that we do support this motion, but will not vote because it is direction to our government. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
