Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For specific procurement concerns that are taken up by departments, arm's length agencies or boards, you would have to speak to the Minister involved in that, Mr. Speaker. Of course, we run the contract registry which provides the information. We think it has added a real element of transparency. I think the Member would appreciate that. The kind of information he has at his fingertips allows us to go back and look at procurement practices. That is what we are doing.
The Canadian Federation of Independent Business, after surveying NWT businesses, came up with a list of priorities and reducing regulatory burden and red tape was near the top, Mr. Speaker. That is what we think we are doing. Another one was competitive taxation regimes and reducing taxes. We think we are doing two things here. We are reducing regulatory burden and providing a tax break. We think that is to the benefit of all small businesses, not jut the ones, I would add, that do business with the GNWT. Obviously, the non-renewable resource sector has had huge impacts. There are many businesses making their prime business in dealing with these companies. They would now benefit. All businesses across the North making income would benefit from a small tax break. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
