Mr. Speaker, I am aware of a couple of businesses that have lost contracts to southern companies. Mr. Speaker, I don’t want to get into a dialogue on the floor of the House about those two businesses, but perhaps what I could do is get the Minister to commit to sitting down and reviewing these two cases so that it doesn’t happen again and so that the value added stays in the Northwest Territories. These companies employ people, Mr. Speaker. They pay taxes here. We shouldn’t be getting things manufactured in Winnipeg and shipped north into our communities, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
