Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is also for the Minister of Public Works. Like my colleague from Yellowknife Frame Lake, I am concerned about the procedures used by the department to award the contracts for the acquisition of furniture for the new Legislative Assembly building. I would like to focus on how the decision was made to waive the five per cent local content adjustment for this tender only. Can the Minister indicate whether this decision to waive the local preference provisions of the Business Incentive Policy was a Cabinet decision, or something made up within the Minister's department?
