Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yes, every community in the Northwest Territories should be actively involved in working together as a community to look at the ideas they have as a community and try to push those ahead with the assistance of our staff that are in those communities whether it be economic development staff or development corporation staff or whatever, so that they can capitalize on the programs we supply as a government. We are also moving ahead with regulatory reform, Mr. Speaker, that will enhance and make business opportunities more readily available in our communities with less red tape. For example, the story Mr. Roland told in the House the other day about the fishermen in his community that was doing very well until the government became involved. Hopefully that does not transfer into a real live life story, Mr. Speaker.
We are also encouraging all the claims groups that have not settled claims to get on with settling claims and we are also pushing the federal government to get claims settled in the western Arctic. That is one of the instabilities of those investors or those people that want to carry out business in the western Arctic. The whole issue of outstanding land claims, hopefully, with our encouragement, the claimant groups as well as Indian Affairs will move on and get claims settled. As well, there is increased activity in the Deh Cho, the Sahtu regions in oil and gas. There are major initiatives happening in those regions. I was talking to businesses recently that said they cannot find enough iron in the Sahtu Region alone this year, or the Deh Cho to do the work oil companies want done in those regions. So Inuvik has a lot of experience in that and business people who are experienced. They may have to move, but that opportunity is there. Also, Mr. Speaker, there may be tax incentives in the next budget as well for business. Thank you.
