Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's been over six months since the Business Advisory Council disbanded and said that it didn't have faith that economic recovery was a priority for this Cabinet. And here we are, Mr. Speaker, still without our Emerge Stronger Economic Recovery Plan. And it's hard to have faith, Mr. Speaker.

Before the Business Advisory Council disbanded, they conducted an all-day strategic planning session where they made a number of recommendations on what we could do, Mr. Government -- or Mr. Speaker.

As far as I can tell, Mr. Speaker, those recommendations have largely been ignored. I once again in this sitting will go through some of those recommendations.

First: Offer a rebate program to NWT residents for staycations. Mr. Speaker, I love this program. In Nova Scotia, if you go on a staycation, you got 20 percent back. I think this should be the main vehicle for encouraging tourism within our territory, yet decided not to do that. We decided to ignore the advice of our business community.

Mr. Speaker, they advised that the GNWT should develop infrastructure to support electric vehicles. Mr. Speaker, the GNWT does not own one single electric vehicle station. Despite having 900 vehicles and spending 3 million a year, we don't own one single electric vehicle.

Mr. Speaker, they asked that we organize an online festival and show of NWT artisans of their work, as well as set up an e-commerce site for artisans.

Mr. Speaker, multiple governments and organizations for years have asked for NWT Arts to set up an e-commerce platform for our NWT artists, and we ignored this recommendations from the Business Advisory Council.

They said we should reduce fees and alcohol taxes for industry businesses. We're definitely not going to do that, Mr. Speaker.

They said we should consider specific respite for the hospitality industry, Mr. Speaker. I have yet to see that respite. Mr. Speaker, they asked that we declare a state of emergency, amend BIP to remove the limitation and create a benchmark. We have not done that, Mr. Speaker. In the Yukon, 15 percent of government contracts have to go to Indigenous businesses. There is a clear benchmark and a target they have reached. We still do not have an Indigenous procurement policy.

Mr. Speaker, there were many other recommendations from our Business Advisory Council, and as far as I can tell, they are not in our plan, and we don't have a plan. I will have questions for the Premier on where Emerging Stronger is at.
