Thank you to the Minister for the clarification. I guess I am a little disappointed if Cabinet requires more research and that they didn’t just take the recommendation of the department, but there we are. I guess I would like to say first of all, in terms of the impact on businesses, there are not many businesses in the NWT that actually pay the current minimum wage. It is pretty minimal. I think it is $8.25. I am a little surprised that we have to do that much research. The Minister says that he is going to come back in the next session hopefully. If we don’t get a recommendation to committee in May/June, when does the Minister think that we could perhaps have an increase in minimum wage actually implemented? Thank you.
