Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I personally would like to know how much the BIP has cost this government over the years. I think we all want to do that. I think people have a right to know that. We have tried in our first discussion paper on the proposed BIP to use a mechanism of labour rebates and tax credits, and we thought that such a system would have allowed us to assess the cost of BIP. However, this approach was not accepted during the stakeholder discussions and through the consultation that took place. I think this was a way of trying to find out how much BIP is costing us, but since it was not accepted by the stakeholders, we are not going to pursue that avenue. We will have to find another way of trying to figure out how much BIP is costing.
Frankly, the Business Incentive Policy has been in place for some time and it is difficult to have baseline information of where to start. Of course, there is the BIP administration that we are involved with. There is also a contract administration that takes over after BIP has been analyzed and a contract given out, so it is a responsibility that the Minister of Finance and FMB has on the contract administration part of it. We need to go there as well if we really need to know how much BIP is going to cost us. Thank you.
