Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to continue questioning the Minister of Public Works and Government Services on the tender for carpeting, furniture, etc. for the Legislative Assembly. There were four bids to provide this furniture, Mr. Speaker: one for $1.35 million, another for $1.65 million, another one for $1.274 and another one for $1.379 million. I give those figures because there is a spread between the lowest and the highest of roughly $376,000. The bid went to the highest figure. Since we are in a financial crisis in this government, would the Minister explain to us why we are spending $376,000 more for this furniture than we could be if we had chosen another bid?
