Mr. Speaker, the minister is continuing to perpetuate a myth that is not true in this agreement. This leads to constitutional entrenchment of tax exemption. This is unfair. It is that simple. Disguising it under the terms of a land deal makes it no less unjust. Other businesses in the area will not be able to compete with tax exempt businesses run by the Nisga'a central government.
If the Indian affairs minister is serious about fairness, will he commit to restoring real fairness by levying the same tax on the Nisga'a that all other Canadians will have to pay?
