Thank you Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Transportation. Mr. Speaker, one of the requirements with regard to contractors in my constituency is that they are required to utilize local facilities and local business and, wherever possible, local people. I noticed on my way to Yellowknife for the session that companies are still hiring people from outside the communities to be flagmen and for other jobs that do not require much skill. I would like to ask whether or not the department is enforcing the northern preference policy and the local hire.
