Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In follow-up to my questions to Minister McLeod, I did find the reference in the budget here. It says: “The GNWT intends to consider the elimination of the Business Incentive Policy,” and it talks about that not having any implementation until 2009–2010 fiscal year. That’s why it didn’t grab my attention, because it is not — to the question I asked you before; I’ll answer it — imminent that this is going to change.

To the statistics that Minister McLeod quotes when he says that 76

per

cent of the BIP is taken

advantage of in the large centres, and 85

per

cent.... Those statistics…. I

guess my

question is: what’s your point? I

mean, the

communities you name: Yellowknife, Hay River, Fort Smith and Inuvik.... Most of the people live in those communities, so what’s the purpose of stating those statistics?
