Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I recall that tender. Five per cent local preference was applied to that tender in both cases. I have shown you the sheet, Mr. Gargan. The portion that the band did not get the five per cent local preference on, was the material they bought outside the community. The other bidder, under the Business Incentive Policy registration, is a supplier of material so it stocks the material in its inventory for the general public to buy. That is one of the reasons why we have that local preference and this is the reason they got the local preference on this portion of the tender. Consequently, when you applied the Business Incentive Policy, the contract was awarded to the lowest bidder. Thank you.
