Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. It was my intention to do that when I started this process, the review of the business incentive policy, and it is still my intention to try to get it done. Thank you.

Thank you. Final supplementary, Mr. Patterson.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, now that it appears that we will be having a final session of this Assembly in June of this year, can I ask the Minister, can we expect to have, for that session, tabled a new business incentive policy. Thank you.

Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, it is my intention to have it done in the life of this government. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. Mr. Allooloo.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the Minister of Public Works and Services, Mr. Speaker, on November 1, 1994 when I asked the Minister about the government parking spaces, the Minister made a commitment to this House that he will be raising the cost for government parking spaces in Yellowknife to market rates. When I asked the Minister again this week, what rates were being charged for these spots, his answer was that the government was only charging an amount equal to the government's cost for electrical, lot maintenance and lot lease. This rate is still significantly lower than the market rate. Can the Minister explain why his department has decided to provide -- after he made this commitment to charge market rates -- parking spots for government employees at a much lower rate than the current market rate? Thank you.

Minister of Public Works and Services, Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The information that I received is that for parking spaces in Yellowknife as well as other communities, they are based on the user-pay policy. That is what it costs the government and that is what employees pay. Thank you.

Thank you. Supplementary, Mr. Allooloo.

Mr. Speaker, this still does not answer the question I asked him back on November 1, 1994. He committed to this House that he would look at raising the rates up to market rates, since it was unfair competition to the private sector. I wonder if he is going to uphold his commitment so that it will be fair competition in the private sector.

Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't know what I said. I'll look in Hansard and get back to the Member. I don't know if I said all that he just said. Once I read Hansard, I will answer your question, Mr. Allooloo. Thank you.

Mr. Allooloo.

Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Once I read the Hansard, I can answer the question better to see if what he said is what I said. Thank you.

---Laughter

So, Mr. Morin, are you taking the question as notice?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. No.

Supplementary, Mr. Allooloo.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think the Minister has tried very hard so that this big government doesn't compete with the small private sector that sometimes he has a hard time staying alive. We heard on the news this week that the Centre Square Mall is having a difficult time staying alive. There's parking involved in that too. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister, since he has tried very hard to make government services compatible with market rates -- for instance, housing tenants are paying market rates -- is he going to direct his department, like he said he would, to raise the parking costs according to Yellowknife's market rates? Thank you.

Mr. Morin.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't have Hansard from the fall in front of me and I don't know whether I said I would look into it. What I will do is look at Hansard, look at the commitment I made to the Member, discuss it with my department and get back to the Member. Thank you.

Final supplementary, Mr. Allooloo.
