Thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll try to respond to all five of them, I believe. As I've said, SEED, we're having a look at it. My concern was when I got the portfolios, are we making the best bang for our buck, and I will not commit to a review right at this point. I'm going to have a look at it for sure, and if there's a need for it we will definitely be having a look at that, but I'm paying close attention on how we're spending SEED for sure and getting value for our money.
The fishing industry, as you know, we're going to table our strategy moving forward. I think the amount of money that we initially have right there, right now, the $200-and-some thousand for support plus the $1.4 million this government has set aside to leverage the federal government, it's going to be important how things go with Freshwater Marketing Corporation. If need be I will be back down in Ottawa and being on the Minister's ear about how we're going to move that initiative forward, because we believe that's something to diversify our economy; not just in Hay River, but the whole Slave Lake system is important to the Northwest Territories.
BDIC, again, we believe that from everything they've said they can continue to service the economic sector of the Northwest Territories. The one thing about BDIC I think a lot of people don’t understand is the application are taken in regions and they're all put forward to BDIC, and they review them and decide if they're going to fund those things. So those are regional things, and different regions have different types of activity in the Northwest Territories and different needs and wants and asks. As the economy is up and down in some regions there's definitely a lot less activity, and it has to be something that's viable moving forward. It just can't be some pipe dream and just think we're going to lend people money. There's got to be a viable business plan with it.
Red tape, we've talked about it in this House already. With the CFIB and their report, we are always working to improve how we do business, especially in the small business sector how they can navigate their way through all the different types of red tape, being, you know, especially the forms, GST, registering your business, all these sorts of things, and BizPal, as we did a Minister's statement in the House, is certainly helping with that and we are working on those items moving forward.
Community Futures reduction, I hear what the Member is saying, but that is something that was already put forward in the last budget and we're just making some small adjustments to that. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
