I'll go back to Mr. Leach.

My understanding is that there are 14 communities under aboriginal self-government agreements—and this was news to me when one of my assistants told me about it—that have imposed some sort of personal income tax. I hadn't heard this before.

Can you tell me about those communities' experiences? Has this been financially beneficial to the communities, or has it really pissed off lots of taxpayers, or both?
