Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The honourable Minister responsible for Aboriginal Affairs, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Antoine. Supplementary, Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would the Minister be able to provide me with documents detailing the terms of reference on how each chief negotiator is to conduct themselves when he or she participates in negotiations?

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The honourable Minister responsible for Aboriginal Affairs, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Antoine. Supplementary, Mr. McLeod.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Would the Minister also describe for me the reporting process for the role of the chief negotiator and the role of the Ministry of Aboriginal Affairs in Cabinet involvement?

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. The honourable Minister responsible for Aboriginal Affairs, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you, Mr. Antoine. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Thebacha, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is addressed to the Minister responsible for the Department of Finance, regarding the hotel tax. Mr. Speaker, this issue has received considerable scrutiny and debate since the Minister announced the tax in this House. The question for me is the $1.25 million in projected revenues, and the lack of clarity in terms of the calculations that were used to arrive at that estimate. I would like to ask the Minister today whether he would be prepared to table the calculations that have led to the figure of $1.25 million in revenues that will be generated in his estimation by the hotel tax. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Finance, Mr. Handley.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, certainly. No problem at all. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Supplementary, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the Minister for that commitment. I would like to ask him if he would be prepared to table that either today or tomorrow, before the House rises, so we have a chance to look at it in the ensuing summer months. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. The honourable Minister responsible for the Department of Finance, Mr. Handley.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I will table what I can now. I am assuming we are meeting today, tomorrow and Friday. I will do everything I can to have it tabled before this House closes for the summer. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Handley. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Mackenzie Delta, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as I mentioned in my Member's statement, the economy and social issues go hand in hand. Mr. Speaker, a healthy economy means increased employment and less reliance on the social net, and an increased ability for resources to be developed to assist the needs of our people. I applaud the government's initiatives in other jurisdictions, such as Alaska, in increasing trade and investment. We need to ensure that northern businesses are accessing these opportunities, ensuring participation in the inter-jurisdictional joint ventures.

More businesses in the northern businesses means more jobs for Northerners. It is simple logistics, Mr. Speaker. This government's Business Incentive Policy provides incentives for local businesses on the premise that they will reinvest corporate earnings back into the northern economy. Reinvesting means strong economies and more jobs.

However, there is no guarantee that this policy applies to the government's business transactions outside the Northwest Territories. Mr. Speaker, I encourage this government to practice what it preaches at home and also carry it out abroad.

Mr. Speaker, when will the Minister of the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation table a list of northern suppliers and manufacturers, including sub-contractors, that were used in the recent sale of a seniors' complex in Alaska? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Krutko. The honourable Minister responsible for the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation, Mr. Allen.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am trying to get that information as soon as we can and table it as soon as we can. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Allen. Supplementary, Mr. Krutko.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in a recent press release made by the president of the Northwest Territories Housing Corporation, it states that under the terms of the Alaska deal, Northwest Territories contractors will build the complex with local labour, while Northwest Territories suppliers and manufacturers will provide the materials.

Can the Minister describe what enforceable or accountable access to this information is in place to ensure northern manufacturers and suppliers and support services will be used in future trade initiatives in other jurisdictions? Thank you.
