Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, in reaction to the territorial budget and fiscal plan, one of the points they say needs to be immediately addressed by the government is a thorough review process of the regulatory environment and degree of paper burden imposed on small business in the territories. In fact, the implication in the CFIB statement is that the paper burden is holding back the territorial economy from growth that it might otherwise experience. In light of that and in light of what Newfoundland has done, and since it has been some time since the Minister has looked at this issue, would the Minister commit to re-examining whether or not there might be reason to eliminate some of the fees and charges of this government.
