Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The BIP policy, as many of us well know, was established to help grow, foster, develop northern business and development. I think, in many cases, it has worked quite successfully to demonstrate that there is a real genuine interest in developing the northern economy and establishing southern businesses here in the North. Mr. Speaker, sometimes, though, when a company is listed under the BIP policy, they get sold and basically all that is left is the storefront and the actual business that does the work vacates the Northwest Territories but they keep their
storefront name just for the context of staying involved under the BIP policy. Mr. Speaker, I see that as wrong. It was brought forward by a constituent of mine that believes it is wrong. My question to the Minister who would be in charge of this would be our Honourable Bob McLeod for ITI. What type of demonstrated measures does his department do and investigate to make sure that when a company qualifies for BIP, they actually are a northern business doing northern business? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
