Thank you. I believe that that is the problem with the policy when you have three companies in the same community. They’ve made a major capital investment in regard to the Capital Suites in Inuvik, I believe it was $12 million that they put into it. The Gwich’in put in half of that, which is $6 million, they own half the hotel and they are a local business. If anything, it’s in the Gwich’in Settlement Region, but yet because of a 1 percent difference, they are being excluded from a policy that is, basically, you know… Is there a possibility of a Charter challenge? I don’t know; maybe we should...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are directed to the Minister responsible for the Business Incentive Policy. It is in regards to my Member’s statement and the principles that are laid out in the policy. Again, I touched on number three where it talks about the policy should not try to dis the president and future self-government treaties or land claim-based rights.

Mr. Speaker, in regards to the contracting processes that I would like to ask the Minister, I know I mentioned negotiating contractors in my statement but also I have supported negotiating contracts for projects in McPherson and Aklavik which were submitted to the regional office which I gave to the Minister. It was supposed to go to Cabinet in April. I would like to ask the Minister what is the status of those contracts. Again, that is another avenue that has to be used but again we are not hearing anything back from Cabinet on that. I would like to get an update from the Minister. Why is...
