Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank Mr. Williams for the answer, but I’m not very pleased to hear what you have to say. Again, this has been a really long time coming and I guess I would have thought that in four years we would have been able to reach some kind of middle ground to get something accomplished.

I am pleased to hear the department is willing to go back and talk to the hotel operators again. That is something that would get this in place sooner rather than later, but I can understand why the hotel operators want to have something that’s regulated as well. I know that this is not something which everybody in the territory wants. I could see where for the territory to administer the legislation is not the way to go, but certainly to provide for municipalities to put this levy in place if they wanted, I think, is something that’s really doable. I am somewhat dismayed that we haven’t been able to make relatively minor amendments to legislation in order to make it feasible for communities such as Yellowknife to put this thing in place. Just a

comment, Mr. Chair. I don’t have anything else to add. Thank you.
