Mr. Speaker, the Department of Economic Development and Tourism is not the department that is lofting these contracts in this regard. It is the EDA committee comprising Fisheries, Indian Affairs, Renewable Resources and Economic Development and Tourism. It is this group that is letting the contract. Although we do everything we can to facilitate them, there is a group of people who are outside one particular department who are making these decisions. Have I said to the department, "Do not pay this person any money because of non-compliance with a contract? " No, not to my knowledge, Mr. Speaker.
