Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just in closing, I have a few comments on this motion. I want to thank my colleagues for their comments and support on this motion. Mr. Speaker, I sense a strong willingness on the part of industry to take part in this process of dealing with the business incentive policy.

Mr. Speaker it's not a secret that a lot of businesses look to government for a portion of their business and a lot of businesses have built some capacity to supply a niche in the market that is created by government and to meet the requirements that government needs. For those businesses who have gone to the extent of building capacity and establishing in the North and are prepared to meet the government's needs, now is not a time to pull the rug out from under them and say we are going to sidestep our policy and go south because we don't think you are playing ball.

I think they are willing to sit down with government, with different departments, and if it's a dollar issue and it's not meeting the needs of the government now, I think they are willing to work with us and try to rectify that situation. Mr. Speaker, part of the reason I am supporting this contract of 22 trailers, I think the Housing Corporation has a lot to learn by going south with this contract. I don't believe southern contractors, if they fill this contract, will care less if these trailers are going to where it's 45 below for five or six months of the year. They will put them together for the cheapest price possible. I think there is a lot of benefit to have a northern contractor build these units because they live here. They know the northern climates and they know what needs to be in these units to meet the needs of the communities and I think there's a benefit to that.

So, Mr. Speaker, in closing, I will encourage Members of this House to support this motion and I encourage the government to live by the intent of the motion. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
