On the basis of the final report, the three Premiers decided not to pursue it at that time because it recognizes that the northern residents deduction reduces individual taxable income but also decreases the amount of tax that we collect. So, I think it would be something that if this Assembly felt it was important and that it would benefit other high income residents, northern residents, I suggest it would be put forward as part of the transition planning. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
