Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, you know, I wrote these questions, and then as I'm writing them and then knowing what's going on and some of the conversations that are happening in this room, with carbon tax I think the one thing that boggles my brain as somebody who sits in this legislature as the Northwest Territories. As my colleague from Nunakput can clearly show you pictures in front of his home, you know, that it's deteriorating. And, yes, carbon is very important. But, we are not the big emitters and we are having to pay our tax dollars to meet this federal government dream, you know. So maybe it's time when we go back, you know, that's the thing, is we are not the emitter. We should be compensated by them to be paying for all of these costs and not passing them on to our residents.

So will the Minister -- or will the Premier and the Minister, you know, commit to making sure that this message is passed on and don't leave the room until they commit to it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
