Question 701-18(2): Consultations on Climate Change and Energy Strategy
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 2nd Session (day 64)

I heard the Minister say that it is open to Chamber staff and board members. Luckily in Hay River, the Chamber has sent out the invitation to their actual membership, so there are small businesses that will be attending. That is just by accident and not by design. I would like to ask the Minister what the engagement has been like in past workshops. Has there been a lot of attendance and input by them?
