Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is a return to a question asked by Mr. Gargan on June 18, regarding aboriginal residents registering for business incentive policy. The benefits of the business incentive policy are available to businesses that are majority northern-owned and that maintain permanent business facilities in the NWT. The BIP compensates those businesses for the higher costs of maintaining those facilities and employees. The contracting departments are only able to determine if a business qualifies for the benefits, if, at the time of the tender evaluation, the business has registered. Native-owned and administered firms will have no problem obtaining registration. Departments must evaluate hundreds of tenders each year, and it would not be possible to check the status of non-registered businesses at the time of each tender evaluation. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
