Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Finance in response to a remark he made in his address on the budget today. This concerns our very valuable program, the business incentive policy, which the government uses to encourage northern businesses. The Minister indicated that the government is currently reviewing this policy and is considering revisions. I am glad to hear that. I just wanted to find out if the government is still accepting opinions and recommendations from the public. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, my understanding is we are still accepting opinions on the changes on revisions that the public at large would like to see to our business incentive policy to ensure that we protect and continue to increase the involvement of northern businesses in purchasing goods and services to this government. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Given the recent events, the responsibility for the business incentive policy has moved from Mr. Arlooktoo to Mr. Kakfwi. I would prefer to take that question as notice, so we can answer it in a correct and proper way.

It is very unusual to have a Member seek unanimous consent while we are still on one item. But maybe your friends are waiting to go, so we will allow it this time. The Member for Kivallivik is seeking unanimous consent to return to item 6, recognition of visitors in the gallery. Do we have any nays? There are no nays. Mr. O'Brien, you have unanimous consent.
