Thank you, and I do appreciate what Mr. Stewart is saying. I am familiar with the Income Tax Act amendments, and the numbers are moving out of legislation where they can be tweaked; but, you know, the other areas of tax are not moving in a similar direction, and I think my honourable friend the Member for Frame Lake has often raised the issue of creating a new tax bracket for the highest income earners. Those kinds of initiatives are somewhat inflexible using the current legislative process, and my fear is, if we wanted to move expediently on tax reform or tax improvements, we would have to go through the LP process, which can take a great deal of time. So how much time would it take to move all tax into regulation so we can have more flexibility to do that? Is that something the department has the capacity to do in the life of this government? Thank you.
