Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, not every type of business can survive just by doing business right within their community. Many companies need to look at the availability of work on a larger scale in the region. Even small, aspiring companies will want to think about eventually offering their goods or services to a larger marketplace. I think we still have free trade in the Northwest Territories. I think it's okay to work in our communities. I want to know how we are going to balance, as a government, the aspirations of those businesses in the small communities -- as the Minister said primarily aboriginal -- how are we going to balance that without not disrupting completely the life's work and investment of other companies in the same region? Thank you.
