Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. No, the regulations haven't been shared. Thank you.

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. You know, I speak Beaudel English, but I still don't think that I need an interpreter. I said that I would assume that the next government coming in would repeal the legislation if the federal legislation approves our appeal. I said I would assume that they

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. We designed a program that would mitigate the impact to the people of the Northwest Territories, the cost of doing business in the Northwest Territories. Like I said before, the easiest thing we could have done is nothing and let the government decide w

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We don't know what the federal backstop would look like for the Northwest Territories. That is a better backstop for the Yukon. Ours may have been different. We don't know that. Realizing that the federal backstop was going to be a little harder for the peop

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair, and I will be very quick. The easiest thing for this government to do would have been to say, okay, well, we will do nothing. We had a lot of people working on this, trying to mitigate some of the impact, but the easiest thing to do would have been to j

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I never thought of that, but I know of a community that does fly a lot of their fuel in, and I don't think you'd want to be paying the prices they pay, and their distance is not as far as the Member's riding. So I have seen that, and that is a creative way o

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am done.

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. The reason we are here having this discussion on the carbon pricing and our approach to carbon pricing which would help mitigate the impact on people in the Northwest Territories is because we have already asked the federal government to give us an exemption

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. As I said earlier, any type of motor fuel is going to be subject to the carbon tax. I have to point out that with the heating fuel and propane, 100 percent rebate comes to about $9.5 million dollars. That is a substantial amount right there. We worked with C

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Any motor fuel that is burned will be subject to carbon tax. For those who are hauling it, if they have a garage that relies on heating fuel to keep their garage heated, then that part of it is going to be rebated at the pump. Any motor fuel that they use to

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  No, Mr. Chair. That does not because they would be using motor fuel to haul the heating fuel. Thank you.

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Again, I would assume that it would be, but I am also confident that this Legislative Assembly would support an initiative that we feel is better for the people of the Northwest Territories than the alternate. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We can't know for sure. Our intention is that, once we deal with Bills 42 and 43, if approved by the Legislative Assembly, then our approach would be implemented on September 1st. Then, we would have some other provisions in the second bill that we are deali

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We were able to work with the federal government because the original implementation date was July 1st. Because we were still dealing with our piece of legislation, they agreed to push it off to September 1st because we were working on our approach. They cou

Committee Motion 178-18(3): tanding Committee on Government Operations Report on the Review of Bill 42: An Act to Amend the Petroleum Products Tax Act and Bill 43: An Act to Amend the Income Tax Act - Government Response, Carried  Thank you, Mr. Chair. We were able to get a couple of exemptions when we proposed our approach to the federal government. Obviously, a big one would be aviation, because our main mode of transportation up here is aviation. The second one, which I think will be a great benefit to
