Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The NWT Liquor Commission and the Liquor Board make revenue every year from the sale of alcohol in the North. From there, they have a revolving fund from the sale of the liquor products of about $9 million a year. Then on top of that, they have a profit of $15 million that goes back into the general coffers of the Northwest Territories. The sale of liquor revolves back into the whole NWT Liquor Commission as well as the Liquor Board. In that way, it's hard to tell whether the government is subsidizing the distribution of alcohol. I think it's self-funded, more than government subsidized. Thank you.
