Thank you, Mr. Speaker and honourable Members. Mr. Speaker, being open for business may mean a one-window approach, so businesses know exactly what the process will be, where to go for more information and what steps must be taken to prove their proposed project can meet environmental guidelines.

Mr. Speaker, I hope that the government will ensure that the NWT is open for business. We can have both: a healthy business climate; and, respect for the environment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
