This report first discusses the Government’s two consultation documents – the Revenue Options Paper and the Revenue Options Summary – which provide the informational foundation for the consultation process.

[...] A set of organizations representing the full range of views about taxes and the public services that they support should be appointed to a balanced steering committee that approves the text of all communications with the public. [...] The consequent loss of rents is the sole responsibility of the GNWT – not the federal government. [...] This is no doubt true, and one of the chief considerations in that analysis should be to anticipate the inevitable decline of that industry, and how the Government will – in the meantime – collect the savings that will be needed to finance future services and programs.
