Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, while reducing the taxes to small business, again I say, a darn good thing, but, Mr. Speaker, we have to make a solid point on this. You have to be getting contracts in order to have something to deduct in order to make that two percent reduction worth anything.

Mr. Speaker, I don't have to go through the statistics I said the other day, as well as just earlier, that the Minister does monitor through the registry of the sole sourcing and the sourcing that goes south at 92 percent for Stanton. Would

the Minister consider options such as maybe replacing the BIP, or modifying it so any business that is a northern business that files their taxes in the Northwest Territories are the only ones who qualify for BIP? At least that would squeeze out big corporations such as Wal-Mart or large box stores from competing with small businesspeople who are trying to make a living and promote our North. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
