Madam Chair, we have had extensive discussions about the grandfather provisions of the business incentive policy. We will be having some more discussions with our officials to discuss the exact nature of the concerns and specifically go through the list of parties that are on what you call the grandfather list and see what basis there are for the specific concerns. Based on that, we will be making a decision on what to recommend to Cabinet. As I said earlier, there is extensive concerns about the grandfather clause and there may be some merit in trying to do something to alleviate the concerns with specific parties that may be listed in the grandfather clause. Whereas others may have no basis whatsoever for concern. So that work will be done with myself and as I say, Mr. Arlooktoo and our officials, before we go to Cabinet. Thank you.
