Mr. Speaker, is it the Minister's intention, in participating in new discussions on further reduction of trade barriers given the federal government's strong desire apparently to promote free trade within Canada, that we should continue to seek to carve a special niche for the territories in these national agreements which will recognize our developing economy because northern businesses need protection while they are still developing and while they are unable to compete with larger national corporations? Thank you.
