Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister for Public Works and Services. Mr. Speaker, the current business incentive policy of this government does not recognize bed and breakfasts as commercial accommodations. Therefore, these businesses do not meet the criteria to qualify to hold commercial licences as hotels and motels. However, Mr. Speaker, article 24.3.5 of the agreement between the Inuit of Nunavut settlement area and Her Majesty the Queen, the Government of Canada, states: "Recruitment policies and implementing measures shall be carried out in a manner that responds to the developing nature of the Nunavut settlement area, economy and labour force. In particular, the policy shall take into account increased ability over time of Inuit firms to compete for and to successfully complete government contracts."

I believe, Mr. Speaker, this government is not about to override the Constitution of this country. Therefore, my question to the honourable Minister is will the government honour the Nunavut agreement and allow contractors and government employees to use Inuit-owned bed and breakfasts in Nunavut.
