Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The issue I raised today in my Member’s statement was talking about how government can do business wisely by stimulating the economy, but making sure that those dollars go out to do what they’re really intended to do.

Mr. Speaker, as I said, in the U.S. they saw loopholes, in New Brunswick they found and plugged some loopholes, and I just want to make sure that the Government of the Northwest Territories is plugging some loopholes.

Mr. Speaker, I’m going to ask my questions to the Minister of Finance because I think this rightly sits on his shoulders, although the Minister of ITI does manage the fund, but I think, really, the detailed work comes down to the Minister’s of Finance office and his people that would go through the due diligence of this type of lending practice.

So, Mr. Speaker, my question directly to the Minister of Finance is: what work is done to ensure that no layoffs and all Northwest Territories businesses are kept in good standing if we’re lending money to a corporation and making sure that our economy is healthy and, certainly, protected? Thank you.
