Well, I would not mind if the Minister commented on that. If it is designed to, Madam Chair, if it is designed to protect northern businesses, if they are able to compete on this global market that we are competing with in the Northwest Territories, if they are able to compete, why do we need the policy? There was no business incentive policy applied to these. These are local, northern companies who get off their rear end, they go out and they create business. If they have demonstrated that without a business incentive policy we were still able to compete with companies from the south. Why do we need the policy now? Thank you.
