Thank you, Mr. Chair. I feel like I am playing some catch-up with this, as I am not part of the committee that looked at it. I heard the Minister's opening remarks and his assertion that the program that he is offering is better than the one that would be offered by the backstop, but when I did a simple Google search of how the Yukon was approaching the carbon tax, I noticed that there were some distinct advantages to their approach. I guess my first question would be whether the Minister considered making the rebate on a sliding scale geographically, so that people who live in smaller and remote communities would be eligible for a larger rebate than those who live in Yellowknife, for example? Thank you.
