Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the Minister responsible for Industry, Tourism and Investment and relate to my Member’s statement earlier today where I was talking about the study that the department is currently doing into a sustainable film industry.
I was wondering if the Minister could please give me a bit of a timeline as to when we could see that report come in front of the House for consideration, or at least to committee for consideration. Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. The honourable Minister responsible for Industry, Tourism and Investment, Mr. Bob McLeod.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It’s good to see the amount of interest in establishing an NWT film industry in the Northwest Territories. We have three MLAs that I met with: MLAs Bromley, Abernethy and Hawkins. We’re on schedule. We hired a Yellowknife-based consultant to undertake a review of the film industry and the report is out. We will be doing a review of the report and meeting with the stakeholders sometime in February. We will also have a session with the stakeholders to review the options and I expect to table the report probably in May. Thank you.
The honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.
