In consideration of the BIP, I would like to indicate to the committee the process that will be used to review Tabled Document 20-13(4) and debate surrounding the business incentive policy.

The Minister of Resources, Wildlife, and Economic Development will make introductory remarks on the current business incentive policy of the government. At the conclusion of the Minister's remarks, he will be asked if he wishes to move to the witness table and to bring in witnesses. If the committee concurs, then once the Minister and his witnesses have been introduced, I will permit all Members the opportunity to make general comments for up to 10 minutes on the current business incentive policy. In making opening comments, questions will not be permitted at that time. Once all Members who wish to make general comments are concluded, the chair will permit questions on the topic.

At this time I would like to ask Mr. Kakfwi if he would like to make introductory remarks on the business incentive policy?
