I made that commitment a long time ago that we will have this. It's not a new commitment; it's something that we are actually doing to achieve in this Assembly. I thank the department and the staff for doing the hard work that they are doing. The department works closely with the Department of ITI who promotes and supports the agricultural sector of the economy. We continue to issue leases for agriculture in all areas of the NWT, except where there are restrictions related to issuing land tender, such as land withdrawal areas. If a resident is interested in obtaining an agriculture lease, they can contact the regional offices to discuss areas that may be available, and staff are available to assist them with the process.
