Thanks, Madam Chair. Yes, I would like to see the government response to the recommendations. I don't think that I have ever seen that. I know that we did get a copy of the five-year review in the last Assembly.
I want to support some of the comments made by my honourable friend from Hay River about some of the kinds of businesses that BDIC actually owns. I have been and visited the Fort McPherson Tent and Canvas shop. I have been to Fort Providence and seen the fur shop there. I have been to Fort Liard and seen the retail store associated with the craft business there. Those are great employment generators in those communities. Fort McPherson Tent and Canvas is known around the world for its work. I think it has been a great investment. It has been great for the community.
I want to support what my friend from Hay River said. Those are the kinds of investments and opportunities that I would like to see BDIC do a lot more of in supporting communities. Gameti is doing some really great things around food security, and I don't know whether they have been able to tap into ITI funding. Hopefully, they have, but investments in those kinds of local businesses and enterprises are really great. That is what I want to see BDIC doing more of. If something doesn't exist in a community, maybe it's something that they can help create and start themselves.
In any event, I really look forward to what the Minister is going to provide in terms of the response to the five-year review. I want to encourage that BDIC get more active in supporting small businesses in communities and developing them where there are opportunities. Thanks, Madam Chair.
