Mr. Speaker, this week is Small Business Week. Small businesses are the backbone of our communities across the country, especially in the Northwest Territories. They create jobs and economic growth and are critical in postpandemic recovery. Can the minister responsible for CanNor please update this House on the important work our government is doing to support small businesses in the Northwest Territories?

Mr. Speaker, I thank the member for his hard work on behalf of small businesses in the Northwest Territories. Through CanNor's economic programs, we have supported hundreds of businesses in the north, including 200 women-led enterprises, over 100 owned by indigenous people and over 320 in tourism. Today, I was pleased to announce $50,000 for the Yellowknife Chamber of Commerce to support local business events in NWT. Our government will continue to be there for small businesses to help them grow and create jobs.
