Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance. Mr. Speaker, some time ago I asked the Minister of Economic Development and Tourism whether or not the department has considered the tax holiday scheme similar to the one undertaken by Newfoundland. I've now found out that Newfoundland has a related initiative. The government has appointed a committee to conduct a comprehensive review of all provincial legislation with the aim of scrutinizing permitting and licensing provisions in order to eliminate or reduce, wherever possible, unnecessary and redundant fees or charges in order to stimulate economic growth.

I understand that the Newfoundland government has already eliminated, totally, 171 fees that they have charged individuals and businesses in the past and they expect by this summer to eliminate a further 200 to 300. Mr. Speaker, has our Minister of Finance considered this sort of initiative in order to stimulate economic growth in the territories?
