Thank you. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of D.P.W., Mr. Morin. In Mr. Morin's response about waiving the five per cent preference, he indicated that one of the reasons the local business was awarded the contract was because the supplier of the material had his own stock of inventory. That gave him the five per cent advantage. Am I correct in assuming that from now on, all bids that are being submitted, if the local supplier is supplying material they will have the five per cent advantage? In other words, the band councils, hamlets or other businesses in the communities will have the five per cent advantage? Am I correct?
