Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also have a question for the Minister of Public Works. The Minister by now knows of my concern about his decision to waive certain sections of the Business Incentive Policy for the tender of furniture requirements for the new Legislative Assembly building. Mr. Lewis has just pointed out another instance in which this policy does not seem to be applied in a consistent manner. If the Minister can waive this five per cent for the policy on the Legislative Assembly, what is to stop him from waiving the B.I.P. on future tenders; not just in Yellowknife, but in any community in the Northwest Territories?
The Minister stated earlier that his department is following the spirit and intent of guidelines but these guidelines seem to be rather slippery. Can the Minister indicate whether a formal set of guidelines has been developed to indicate the circumstances under which the Business Incentive Policy or sections of it are to be waived?
