Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As Members know, the business incentive policy has been in place for some years. It was basically designed to help develop business in the Northwest Territories. It wasn't necessarily a policy to generate jobs in the communities. Some of us were a bit naive, I guess, in saying that if we develop the business incentive policy to develop northern business, those northern businesses would hire northern people.

That's not quite true. We did develop northern businesses but they hired southern people; not all, but some. The concern in 1994-95 is we want to make sure that the dollars we spend in the Northwest Territories are spent not only on northern businesses, but that they generate jobs in the communities for local, northern people. That's what we're attempting to do now, through the business incentive policy. We have gone to consultations with businesses and interested groups and have the documentation back. It is in its final draft. Hopefully, I'll get it within a week. I will then take it to Cabinet and then it will go back out to the business community. We'll have it in this House when we come back on June 5th, it will be final by then. Thank you.
