If we were going to go down the path of opening up a review of the BIP, key stakeholders like the NWT Chamber of Commerce, the NWT Construction Association and other industry associations would certainly be part of that.

For the most part, we believe that business here in the Northwest Territories is benefitting from the current BIP that we have in place. We have heard some concerns that it needs to be strengthened. There needs to be more protection for what I would deem as true northern businesses with headquarters here in the Northwest Territories and employees here in the Northwest Territories.

Again, this is something that, as we continue to move on, I know that we are getting late in the life of this government, but it could be something that is flagged in the transition to the next government. If the Members feel that there’s enough concern out there about the status of it today, it could be something that we could look at as we move forward to the 18th Legislative Assembly. Thank

you.
