Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is in regard to process. Are we going to spend a ton of money looking at forms and consultation and legislative drafters? That all costs money. I think that as a government right now, as we all hear, we don’t have much of it.
As a government we’ve already instituted legislation by way of resource pacts. That was done back in the 13th Assembly. It was drafted and ready to go. It
had a hotel tax that went through a whole, thorough review. It was drafted and drafted, ready for the House.
I’m wondering if the government has considered, before we go on this long, exotic tour of the Northwest Territories and talk about taxes and find out at the end it was…. Is there a possibility that the Minister of Finance can come forward to this House on those tax initiatives that have been already worked on so that we don’t have to have a long drawn out process that’s going to cost us money — bring those initiatives to this House, debate it on this floor and see exactly what flies and what doesn’t?
