Thank you again for those comments from the Minister. I had actually visited Good Hope about that time with a youth and elders conference. It was quite impressive. Of course, we’ve had some serious damage to schools from exceptional snow loads and so on. I think we’re gaining our own experience in that area.
I’d like to move on to another topic here. At one point I believe the Minister committed to determining what the cost would be to collect our own taxes in place of Ottawa collecting them for us, as is now the case through an agreement. I am still highly interested in that. I’m wondering if he has any perspective. This is continually held up to me as a reason why we cannot levy particular taxes: Ottawa would shrug their shoulders, the responsibility for collecting taxes would fall off, and we’d have to catch that cost. But I have a hard time objectively assessing what that really means without knowing what the costs would be and comparing it to the potential for raising revenue through our own customized taxes to this jurisdiction. I’d appreciate any comments the Minister can provide on that.
