Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I thank the Minister for that commitment of looking at the Procurement Policy, and the Manufacturing Policy and Business Incentive Policy fitting underneath the overall Procurement Policy of the Northwest Territories' government. But, Mr. Speaker, as you are aware and the Minister is aware, as well as every other Member of this House, it is now, May 12th today. Construction season starts when the snow leaves, building season starts when the snow leaves. It is springtime, we are into our new capital commitments to the Northwest Territories, building roads, building buildings, and it does not do us a lot of good just to look at the policy, what we have to do is to do something about it.

Would you be able to, as a Minister and as this government, take action to ensure that the drainage to southern Canada ceases from the Northwest Territories? Our people are capable, more than capable of doing the work in the Northwest Territories. As well, to make sure that our manufacturers and our contractors are on an even footing when they compete with southern Canada and the new Nunavut Territory. Thank you.
