Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Bill 9, An Act to Amend the Tourism Act, revokes Section 13 and 14 of the Tourism Act that established the Tourism Deposit Assurance Program effective November 15, 2010.

The Standing Committee on Economic Development and Infrastructure conducted a public

hearing on Bill 9 on September 27, 2010, in Yellowknife. The committee heard concerns and opinions from many outfitters as well as from representatives from NWT Tourism. The committee took everything it heard, both written and in person submissions, under advisement in its consideration of this bill. The committee also held a public clause-by-clause review of Bill 9 on October 13, 2010. Following the committee’s review, a motion was carried to report Bill 9 to the Legislative Assembly as ready for consideration in Committee of the Whole.

This concludes the committee’s opening comments on Bill 9. Individual members may have additional questions or comments as we proceed.
