Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question to the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism:
1) Has the government issued any instructions to government departments regarding the purchase of lumber products from the Hay River Sawmill that was recently purchased by the Northwest Territories Development Corporation?
2) Will the same purchasing rules and guidelines apply to all northern-owned sawmills in the NWT?
3) Will the Government of the Northwest Territories support the purchase of the other sawmills in the NWT?
4) Will the government requirements for kiln-dried lumber be applicable to the Hay River Sawmill as they were previously required for northern sawmills, including the sawmill in Fort Resolution?
