Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The area of the Agreement on Internal Trade is part of a large package that’s been worked on for a number of successive governments across Canada. From the federal government it was initiated, provinces as well as the territories. What we bring to the table is those types of concerns. When those discussions are happening, it is to make sure that the things we have in place, for example, our Business Incentive Policy, remain in place and protect the things that we’ve established as the Government of the Northwest Territories. The exact considerations the Member has raised about remoteness and the cost of doing business in the North, and trying to make sure that that’s recognized in any work that goes forward. Thank you.
