Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for Economic Development and Tourism. The north has seen an upsurge of exploration activity as a result of increased interest in the mineral development. Can the Minister responsible for the Department of Economic Development and Tourism answer the following questions based on 1992 and 1993 activity:
1. How many dollars were spent on goods and services, wages and benefits by mineral exploration companies for work performed in the NWT?
2. How much of the total dollars spent is going to NWT businesses and individuals?
3. How much of the total dollars spent is going to aboriginal businesses and individuals?
Thank you.
