Mr. Speaker, I’d like to know from the Finance Minister what loopholes can be closed under his authority to ensure that if we’re going to lend money out to these companies through this type of fund, that we make sure that they do not lay off northern employees and we have to make sure that they are certainly paying any liabilities off to partner northern companies to make sure they’re not left on the hook. While we give a big pile of cash to one company, other people are suffering. So I want to make sure these loopholes are closed. Is the Finance Minister today prepared to explain how they’re going to do this? Thank you.
