Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I will not go over the comments that have been made by the previous two speakers, as it sums up basically how I feel on this proposed amendment. I have also talked to a number of people, particularly the construction association, who, if Members recall, in their last newsletter talked about the shortage of skilled workers and the shortage of work that was available, and there was a recognition that the Government of the Northwest Territories is one of the largest contributors to the construction industry. Subject to suitable responses from the Ministers as we go through the bill, they certainly could support this.

I have also talked to individual members of the association who feel very similar, and they have great concerns about having a skilled workforce available in the territory in the years to come if we do not have some projects to keep these people in the territory right now, that skilled workforce. So subject to acceptable answers from the Minister, I will be supporting the bill also. Thank you.
