Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'm happy that we have a new Public Lands Act. I look forward to the day when it's implemented. I'm looking for an update on when we will see some changes in how we assess and we essentially tax land. I think it's fair to say right now that there are some inconsistencies in the system right now. You pay 5 percent on a residential lease on Commissioner's land and 10 percent on a recreational. Many people live on their recreational leases, and if they actually were allowed to, they would then pay less tax. Then we have territorial lands, and both are appraised differently, using different methodology. It's fair to say that we're hoping to clean all of this up with the Public Lands Act, but I'm hoping the Minister can give me a timeline on when we will see some changes on lease fees. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
