Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In a follow-up to my Member’s statement talking about small businesses and how we can support them, I have questions today for the Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment. Every year we go through our budget process and we give out close to $12 million in grants and contributions to businesses across the Northwest Territories, particularly Support to Entrepreneurs and Economic Development funding, SEED funding.
Has this funding been utilized every year to its maximum potential, and when was the last time the SEED funding increased? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
