Thank you, Madam Speaker. It is the responsibility of hotels, subcontractors or business people in the Northwest Territories to inform the government that they have not been paid in a certain time period after the contract is finished. All people are aware of that. All people are also aware that we do hold back 10 per cent of the overall contract to settle the unpaid bills if they are not. There is a time frame. Other than that, we are not responsible and, no, we cannot take away the business incentive policy for unpaid bills. Thank you.
