Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I have a fairly general question about a unique feature of the Yukon territory.
Yesterday, I met with some very delightful people who informed me that the Government of the Yukon was not in a position to levy taxes or to impose many of the restrictions that were being put in place by the provinces. I wondered about this and about the impact this may have on your communities.
As a Bloc Québécois member, I'm somewhat concerned that communities should have the right to levy their own taxes and make their own choices. I realize that this isn't necessarily one of the demands you're making as a group, but as Yukon residents, are you concerned at all about this matter?
Do you feel that a territory like the Yukon should have the right, like any province, to levy its own taxes and make its own decisions?
We can go around the table and hear from anyone who might wish to speak to this fairly general question.
