I would like to ask Mr. McDougall about the follow-up on the carbon tax issue. I'm from British Columbia, as is Mr. Strahl, and we've had a carbon tax there since 2008. When the government introduced the tax there, they made it revenue neutral by reducing the corporate income tax so that companies such as those, if this were the model in Yukon, would receive a concomitant drop in income taxes. That way the carbon tax could provide the market signal to spur innovation and spur moving to less carbon-intensive operations, if they could.
You talked of members who are trying to do good things in that regard. I wanted to know if you think that would be a model that would work because, from my understanding, the federal government is looking to B.C. as a model for the carbon tax, if provinces bring that on.
You mentioned that Yukon is unique. I believe there is some placer mining in Atlin, though I don't know how those operations are faring there, but if they are they've been operating under that carbon tax for the last eight years.
