Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today my questions are based on learning that in North
Dakota, workers pay income taxes to the state of North Dakota regardless of where they reside. I’d like to direct my questions to the Minister of Finance exploring our situation. Early in the previous Assembly, we learned that we were losing about $300 million per year to high salary workers flying in to work in the NWT mines from other provinces.
Would the Minister have any update on how much this figure is currently for mine workers and what additional we are losing now for oil and gas workers?
