Thank you. Before I rule on the motion, I would remind the Members -- in order to minimize the disruption of the proceedings of the committee -- who wish to leave the committee room to ensure that there is, in fact, a quorum here. Thank you.

The motion is translated and circulated to Members, therefore I rule the motion in order. I will read the motion, for the record, moved by Mr. Steen.

Mr. Chairman, I move that this committee recommends that the Government of the Northwest Territories suspend application of the business incentive policy until such time as the government of the Northwest Territories introduces a balanced budget.

You have a copy of the motion. To the motion. Mr. Steen, would you speak to the motion?
