Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Premier Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am just wondering. The GNWT’s share of the cost of operation of the corporation, $38.9 million, is that because the corporation does not take in sufficient to cover its costs?

Thank you, Mr. Roland. I’ll ask the Sergeant-at-Arms to please escort the witnesses into the House.

I’d like to ask the Minister to please introduce your witnesses.

Mr. Chairman, thanks to the Minister for that confirmation. I think we have often commented on the volatility of our corporate income tax and the difficulty it poses for us. I suppose it would be too much to ask to deal with it and do in those rules and regulations that allow them to manipulate their income in order to have income tax minimized and create this sort of volatility. Thanks.

Thank you. We’ll do that, but we’ll take a short break first.

---SHORT RECESS

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Before I go back to Mr. Krutko, are there any other questions on page 2-21? Seeing none, Mr. Krutko.
