Thank you, Madam Chair. Let's just keep it simple and kill the bill and go to the federal backstop. Pretty simple. My colleagues on this side of the House, you know, I -- I'm really concerned with this like I said in my opening remarks on the bill. We have to make a way for our people in the communities that we represent. People are going hungry. People are needing. And if we add this carbon tax, 17 percent across the board, that's a rippling effect. Our carbon right now, and across the territory, is 0.05 percent, Madam Chair. You know, if we add that 17 percent, that's going to be paying in my riding four and half times more than what we pay. It's not going to -- any kind of monies that you have, you do have, you're not going to be able to buy anything. People are -- people are suffering right now. It's easier to go to the federal backstop and make it simple. Kill the bill. Thank you.
