BOUDREAU PROMO

ANN:		1997: the year of Cabot , the continent’s first venture tourist !  
	Re-discover Newfoundland again 500 years later, and not a moment too 
	soon!  

OB:		I am Ormand Boudreau, Minister of Mines, Energy and 
	Tourism.   In the great spirit in which it was discovered, Newfoundland now 
	offers pre-discovery tax levels for sub-surface ventures -- that’s right, no tax 
	!

ANN:		Is that all?

OB:		No, there’s more.  Not only will we not tax you, we’ll give you 
	money.  Our new SHAFT initiative guarantees Subsoil Harvest Abatement 
	Forwarding Tax credits on all mineral or other ecological removal to select 
	transnational enterprises.  Make no mistake: your hole is our goal.

ANN:		Next year, come home to El Dorado: a venture tourism 
	quingenary; an exploration opportunity; a world of difference to conquer all 
	over again.

TAG:		The preceding message brought to you by the Government of 
	Newfoundland & Labrador :  “A Warm, Receptive Place for Your 
	Business.”
