Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Government Services. From 1979 until 1988 the government had a piece of legislation, which would be enabling legislation, so that we could establish a brewery in the Northwest Territories, so we could use our own water to manufacture a product. In 1987 the government met out at Snare Lake and decided that a priority for economic development was import substitution. Instead of bringing all the stuff in from the South, we would make it here in the Territories. I tried to introduce a Private Members' Bill in 1988 but failed to get it through the House, mostly because of my own errors and so on, but now that we are in a new Assembly I would like to ask the Minister whether the government intends to bring that piece of legislation forward during this Assembly.
