Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for Social Services. In the Kitikmeot Region, we have a group home in Cambridge Bay under the guidance of Social Services. It is my understanding that once again a BC firm was awarded the contract for the care of the children. Also, the staff is from BC. I know of two native groups who had also bid on this contract yet were not given the contract even though their bids were much lower than the firm in BC. My question is, Mr. Speaker, why was the northern preference policy not applied in this case?
