Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, yes, I think, quite clearly, that the Cabinet has to look at changing the policy. I shudder to think what the business community out there in the Northwest Territories is thinking, and how they're supposed to interpret these policies that are out there, when our Minister doesn't even really seem to know how to interpret this policy. How are businesses out there supposed to compete and have that fair advantage across the board, Mr. Speaker? I'd like to also ask the Minister, while I have the opportunity, one of the things I do know...There are two things. One thing I don't know is what we're getting this office space in Fort Simpson for. Nobody seems to know the rate that's being charged. All I could find out, Mr. Speaker, was the fact that we're going to spend about $65,000 to house five ITI employees in a building for 12 months. That's $5,000 a month, Mr. Speaker, just in leasehold improvements alone. I'd like to ask the Minister how this can be allowed to happen. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
