Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We’ve had Members say that answers are excellent. Perfect! We’ve had Ministers say that questions are excellent. Boy, this must be Valentine’s Day.

My questions are for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. As I often start my paragraph, I have an idea. MACA is responsible for assessing the value of improvements and land in all of our communities. As part of that responsibility, they send out assessments to every landowner or leaser on an annual basis.

I would like to ask the Minister what would be involved in including a line on that assessment which would indicate what the previous year’s assessment had been. For this reason: every five years there’s a general reassessment in tax-based municipalities necessarily, then assessments change, they usually go up, unfortunately, sometimes they may go down. But there are opportunities for landowners to appeal assessments, either through a territorial appeal board or a municipal appeal board, but it isn’t something that people always keep right at their fingertips, their previous year’s tax assessment.

If there was one extra line added on a tax assessment indicating the previous year’s, that would trigger to the person receiving the assessment whether or not they wanted to exercise the right to appeal. Could the Minister ask me if that would be possible? Or, ask me… Tell me whether that would be possible. Thank you.
