Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and thanks, Mr. Minister, for the response. That’s all fine and good, but this report that’s going to be done on the duplication may be between NWT Arctic Tourism and the department that’s going to happen and that’s going to roll out, but when? When is the government going to put more resources and more money into tourism? That’s the question I have for the Minister. Thank you.

To clause by clause, schedule 2?

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Here’s where I can’t get into what transpires in business plans and committee meetings and things of that nature, but I just want to ask, perhaps transferring from the Premier to the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development, what his department is going to do in the coming year to address the marketing needs and the promotion of this territory to the rest of the world. What are we going to do here in the next little while? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Roland. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. For a government that purports to support small business, this is a major step backwards, Mr. Speaker. I’m wondering if the government has taken any consideration into the fact that it’s harming, by putting a Legal Aid office into a retail mall, the small businesses that are located in that mall. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Mr. Roland.

Thank you, Mr. Dent. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Your committee has been considering Minister’s Statement 48-15(3) and Bill 9 and would like to report Bill 9 as ready for third reading and, Mr. Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.
