This section deals with strategic planning policy. My colleague touched on much of it. Our mandate states that ITI will develop a manufacturing strategy. In the 2016-17 business plan, there is mention that it is planning to develop an NWT manufacturing strategy. The 2017-18 business plan, there's a partial sentence that says, a future NWT manufacturing strategy. I was wondering, what's the status of this manufacturing strategy? Is it on the radar? I know that, in Hay River alone, there have been, in the past year, 50 jobs created in manufacturing. I'm not sure what else, what other industries are growing like that, so I'm not sure why the department isn't putting a premium on this. What's the status of this manufacturing strategy? When can we expect it? Thank you, Mr. Chair.
