We surely could have done a better job here. We would have gotten more jobs for more Northerners and had more revenues for this government had we not waived the business incentive policy. So I don't buy the arguments that the business incentive policy is costing us money and until we have accurate numbers on what it is costing us in raw dollars and until we can actually go through it and figure out what benefits we get, we have no idea whether or not we should be making any changes to the policy.

So, Mr. Speaker, I urge the Members to support this motion and I hope the government will do the right thing and take the time to collect accurate information for a proper assessment of whether the business incentive policy gets us value for money. Then and only then should we discuss change. If this policy change goes ahead right now, I'm sure that it will be a big issue in the upcoming election. I have no doubt that a clear majority of those elected will recognize the concerns of the business people in their constituency and the 15th Assembly will cause the program to revert to the way it is until they can study how it should be fixed. Rather than throwing this whole policy into the mixer two times in a matter of a few months, let's just stop the change now. Let's take the time to collect really valid information and make a sincere effort to assess that information so we have blue-chip information proving that any change we make will in fact improve the policy. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
