Mr. Speaker, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business and the surveys that it did last year indicates that with the low rates that we have, we should be looking at this as a significant advantage. The CFIB points out that this is a competitive advantage for the NWT and Nunavut when it comes to setting up business and employing workers in the NWT. It even goes so far as to credit the board here as being a low cost and well managed board. What steps are we taking to protect that advantage especially in light, Mr. Speaker, of the indication that we have here that rates have increased by more than two-and-a-half times in only four years? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
