Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate that it is difficult to keep all of these numbers straight when you are getting them in an audio way, but the fact is that they are all going up 25 percent according to what I have heard the Minister say, and this is in communities that have fee simple land holdings and mortgages. The last time that land transfer tax came around, it turned out that 70 percent of those places were in Yellowknife, 20 percent in Hay River, and 10 percent in Fort Smith. On what basis, other than trying to fatten the budget for roads, is the government imposing these new fees? What is the rationale for imposing these new fees? Thank you.
