Thank you, Mr. Chair, and that is what has me concerned about maintaining MTS as an in-house essential service provider. That is the stated policy objective of the purchase and how the organization is being run.
The need to find revenues to sustain the operating costs of the organization has led to the pursuit of opportunities elsewhere, but that leads the GNWT into direct competition with private sector actors, and if we are crossing international boundaries to do that, that could set up the GNWT for a whole bunch of liabilities as it relates to international trade treaties.
Has the GNWT done a risk assessment for the pursuit of these commercial opportunities, both across interprovincial and interterritorial boundaries and international boundaries? Thank you.
