I should remind the Member that, when British Columbia imposed a carbon tax, the price of the gas at the pumps increased by $0.10 a litre; multiply that five times is what the federal government is suggesting. It could have an impact on all of us. I should say, as the Member talks about us dragging our feet, well, we are working with the federal government. We have done modelling. We are waiting for an analytical paper from the federal government. We were supposed to receive it by the end of August; now they are shooting for the end of September. Then we will have discussions with the federal officials so that the federal government will better understand how it will affect the unique nature of the Northwest Territories in implementation and how we deal with carbon pricing.
