Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just to help the Minister in his decisions, I would point out that in past boards, this fact was recognized and as I look at the statistics, the overall number of licences in the Northwest Territories is 158. One-third of them are issued in Yellowknife. That is the main reason for my concern. Could I have a comment from the Minister as to when he would give some consideration to my request? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Deputy Premier and Minister of Public Works and Services. I wonder if the Minister could tell us if he has guidelines and regulations respecting requests for proposals that he could pass on to us? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I wonder if the Minister could also tell us how many requests for proposals are being issued by this government, under consideration now and that have already been issued this year?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Finance. Mr. Speaker, I am getting messages here. I seem to get the impression from the Minister of Finance that there is some legislation or lack of policy which would allow this government to enter into partnership with private enterprise for the construction of facilities or infrastructure. I would like clarification from the Minister of Finance, is there any legislation or is it just simply a lack of policy that is preventing this government from entering into a partnership with private enterprise?

Entering into partnerships is not the problem, Mr. Speaker. Perhaps I need to clarify for my honourable colleague, what I was talking about is the way in which the government gives guarantees under the Financial Administration Act. We need to change that just in case we need to provide some guarantees to the way in which we do capital infrastructure in the future, light roads et cetera. There are some limitations under the current Financial Administration Act. With respect to that, I will be bringing forward some amendments to the Act that earlier today have been vetted through committee. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in other words, there are limitations under the Financial Administration Act, is that correct?

That is correct. There is half a million dollar limitation under the Financial Administration Act at this time.
