Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. The Minister, in the last session, March 3, in Return to Question 177-12(3), referred to a review of the goods and materials that Izok Lake and other NWT mining projects would require in order to target business opportunities for northern entrepreneurs. She stated that the contract was tendered and results would be available in July of this year, 1993. She also referred to the skills review of Coppermine, Cambridge Bay and the Kitikmeot and referred to an economic development officer being hired by ED&T, to work on business opportunities for the mining developments. In her closing statement, she said she would ensure Members of the Legislative Assembly that the government will take actions to ensure the NWT benefits from the development of mining activities. My question to the Minister is, what steps has the government done to ensure that these benefits do accrue to northerners as a result of future mining activities in the north.
