Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister for Economic Development and Tourism, who is also the Minister of Finance. Mr. Speaker, given the business community is a fundamentally important part of our economy in the N.W.T., it is also economically an important part of the G.N.W.T., this includes economic growth and social well being. I would like to know if the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism will do everything in his power to see that, in the coming year, the small businesses across the territories that are locally owned, either in a small community or in a larger centre such as Yellowknife, Hay River,
I am sure he will not miss Hay River, Rankin Inlet, Iqaluit etc. Mr. Speaker, people of Pelly Bay, Gjoa Haven and Spence Bay feel that they have not been given a fair chance when it comes to the running of business. I would like to know if the Minister will be looking into this matter seriously. Thank you.
