The Member would be aware that the GNWT approach is largely revenue neutral with carbon tax revenues being used to offset the impact on the cost of living and doing business in the NWT and for investing in energy initiatives. There are some administrative costs to administer the new tax and the offset program, and I do not think it would be appropriate and I will not be discussing what specific tax filers would be paying.
