Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for Arctic College. In the Nunatsiaq News of June 12, there was an ad placed, an invitation to tender for catering services for the Arctic College in the Baffin Divisional Board of Education. In the tender call it said, and I quote, "Contractors may obtain tender documents from the above address as of June 5. Out-of-town bidders, please contact CINI Little International at (416) 967-," et cetera, a Toronto address.

In discussions with this company, I find that they have handed out four or five of the requests for proposals to Toronto firms. Is it the policy of Arctic College to encourage outside firms to bid on northern work when there are competent competitive northern contractors in place?

See context to find out what was said next.
