Finance Minister Floyd Roland tabled
Charting the Next Course: Final Report on Consultations, and
Charting the Next Course: Macroeconomic Policy Framework in the Legislative Assembly today.
Charting the Next Course: Final Report on Consultations summarizes what participants in the consultations said – including a vision for a future economy of the NWT that is balanced, diversified and sustainable. It should build on the traditional economy in the North, and provide opportunities for big and small businesses, and large and small communities. Participants also identified four key priorities for government action and investment: education; community capacity; infrastructure and the environment.
Charting the Next Course: Macroeconomic Policy Framework provides a comprehensive policy and planning framework to guide and support future decisions. It includes criteria to evaluate investment and policy choices. These criteria focus on the impact of a decision on the Northwest Territories economy and its regions and communities; the depth and duration of its contribution to economic and employment diversification and sustainability; and its fiscal impact.
