Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I, too, will be supporting this motion. I was somewhat split initially, Mr. Speaker, as I'm aware of one company in my constituency that would benefit from this because they've been excluded by previous changes to this. But, Mr. Speaker, there are far too many other businesses that would be impacted negatively by this policy change, and not knowing the full impact of it would be one of the things I think we need to find out more about before proceeding to this.

I guess one can say, Mr. Speaker, this business incentive policy has always been one that has brought concerns from all sides of the table and been reviewed many times over. I can recall in the 13th Assembly when a joint committee was established to do something. At the end of the day when they reported back, they did not proceed with it. So I guess one shouldn't totally be negative on the department as they've been pushed to make changes, and now that the changes have been suggested, there's negative feelings on it and the feeling that it's not the right way.

But, Mr. Speaker, when questions were given to the department by Members of this Assembly, we felt that responses given were not accurate enough or were devoid of some information, and that just didn't lend to making good decisions on behalf of the businesses of the Northwest Territories. With that, Mr. Speaker, I will be supporting the motion. Thank you.
