Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There is a set of guidelines, for this committee of senior deputy ministers to follow. It gives direction for applying the spirit and intent. There is nothing stopping this department from waiving the five per cent local preference in future, if it is in the interest of the spirit and intent of the Business Incentive Policy. I would like to make it clear to all Members of this Assembly that there was only one responsive bidder to part "a" of this tender package. The rest were not responsive because they did not meet the quality of the package, so their bids were not acceptable. Consequently, only one person qualified for the tender. Thank you.
