Thanks, Mr. Chair. I support the motion. I think that at least it leaves the door open to the option of making further changes, improvements, to Cabinet's plan. This is a made-by-Cabinet approach. There are no details. It will be the next Minister of Finance who determines what the details are, in terms of rebates, grants, how the money is spent, and so on. All of that is going to be set out in regulation that none of us may have any say in, not even the public. I am fine with leaving the door open to the chance to develop a better plan.

We have talked about what has been done in the Yukon with rebates to First Nation governments, to municipal governments; revenue sharing with First Nation governments, with municipal governments; an ability to have a more flexible rebate system for individuals, so that those in rural and remote communities get more back. We could have designed that kind of a system. Unfortunately, that is not what we are getting.

I am in favour of pushing back this date in the hopes that we can actually design a better system, because Cabinet did not give us any options. Cabinet did not work with the committee to develop any options, any different kinds of scenarios. In fact, they just went off and negotiated whatever they wanted with the federal government, and they did that while this was even before the committee. I am all in favour of pushing this back in the hopes that we can design a better system that actually meets the needs of Northerners, because Cabinet's plan does not. Thanks, Mr. Chair.
