Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Transportation. This spring there were several bids submitted for spraying of water on the Mackenzie Highway. One of the bids was from an aboriginal person from a community. His bid was low enough that he could have qualified; however, he did not qualify because he did not register for the northern preference policy. Are permanent aboriginal residents who have businesses or start businesses required to register in order to qualify them for those points necessary to be awarded those contracts?
