Yes. Thank you.
Yes, there have been discussions, but unfortunately the Department of Finance is right up there with DFO in terms of being anti-reconciliation.
There has been some movement. We have tables across the country on the section 87 tax exemption. The OSR, own-source revenue, policy is on hold, but we still have major problems with modern treaties in B.C. taking away from revenues. Putting those back won't resolve all the issues, but it would sure help.
Just as an example, B.C., with Canada's support, took away property transfer tax. That's a million dollars a year for many communities. That money could have gone to services.
