Mr. Speaker, although I haven’t researched this extensively, as I understand it, when people follow their jobs and do their work outside of Canada, there are circumstances where people get paid outside of Canada and then when they come home, therefore, they don’t have to pay the taxation dollars here. I guess the same philosophy kind of makes me wonder why can we allow certain circumstances to exist on a national level, then why can’t we proceed by pursuing this ability. Because it doesn’t affect the mobility issue if we ask them or require them to pay in the North. Specifically to the question, has any research been done to focus in on getting people to pay taxes here not to infringe on their mobility issue of where they work? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
