I would like to address the question, obviously not from the perspective of the Government of the Yukon or as an elected official, but as a taxpayer and as a member of a self-governing first nation. At the end of the year when we pay our taxes, we pay our taxes in a formula, a portion of which goes to the federal government and a portion of which goes to the Government of the Yukon.
Because I'm a member of a self-governing first nation, the first nation to which I belong also occupies tax room. So a formula between the federal and first nations governments ensures that the taxes I pay at the end of the year transfer back to the first nation.
That said, I guess the opinion I share as a taxpayer, as a first nation individual, is that it's not likely that the Government of Yukon ought to move quickly towards that sort of status, because there are a number of first nations yet without a land claim agreement. So the kind of certainty that the government takes to the table is not necessarily there yet. I offer that, but I think the grand chief may want to expand a bit on it.
