Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the areas, again, that we have been working on and considering around the small business and support for those have been more in the area of the small business corporate tax rate, which for the Northwest Territories is four percent. For Nunavut and the Yukon it is at four percent, as well. B.C. is 4.5 percent. Other jurisdictions go from five to as high as eight percent; Alberta being lower than us at three percent. But working towards trying to ensure small businesses have a good start here in the Northwest Territories. I had already committed; we are working on a package that we can bring back to Members of this House and look to see if that is enough in the ways of trying to provide the necessary support for small business. Thank you.
