Thank you, Mr. Speaker. And Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the work the Minister's doing at the FPT table -- it's important work -- but I want to know what work we're doing here because we can't wait for that interprovincial work to support our own businesses. People are worried now. Plus, this is an opportunity to actually support businesses locally by acting on a lot of these concerns that have been brought up over time. So will the Minister commit to working with the NWT Chamber of Commerce, the regional Chambers of Commerce, and find ways that we can reduce barriers to business, make -- bring the costs to do so down, perhaps even lower taxes. But will the Minister make that commitment to start that work immediately and not waste another day because time is of the essence, and we need to make sure that the NWT is put first in our decisions as we move forward into an uncertain future. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
