Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development. Last month, in the third session, I asked the minister a question about contribution from the Business Development fund. My concern was that we do not have a bottomless pit of money, that we should make contributions to start businesses, which will grow and prosper, but that we not put ourselves in the position of having to keep businesses afloat with continuous contributions. I appreciate recently having received the response from the honourable minister which clarifies that the Business Development fund policy does not include a requirement to provide ongoing support to businesses.
However, I would like to ask the minister for some further clarification. If a business has received start-up funding from the Business Development fund, are they eligible to receive further funding in following years? Thank you.
