Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as we are all aware, the NWT consistently receives a failing grade on the Canadian Federation of Independent Business red tape report card. How are we working to improve our score and reduce our redundancy and improve frontline services to small business? This is a question for the Minister of ITI. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Masi. Minister of Tourism, Industry and Investment.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In my previous life I was actually a member of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, so I do know a little bit about them. In the early days of being the Minister of ITI I have not been contacted by them and I have not been aware of the score card as of recently, but I'd be willing to sit down and have a conversation with the federation at any time. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Further to the question was, what are we working to do to improve our score? I understand the Minister's reply there, that he's willing to reach out to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, but what are we doing to reduce redundancy and improve frontline services to small business?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I'm not well-versed on the whole thing around this, I'll have to take this question as notice. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
