Thank you, Mr. Speaker. One of our priorities of this Assembly is to ensure government procurement maximizes local businesses. As the government is going through their procurement review to deal with this mandate item, they have many ways to do this. And I also understand there are times when the NWT does not have the expertise for service required. But my question for the Minister of Finance is can the Minister commit to ensuring that the process for the GNWT public tendering that there are mechanisms in place to ensure that businesses in the NWT and when possible that it is done to ensure that it maximizes the money staying in the NWT?
