Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for Education, Culture and Communications. Since the Minister of Government Services indicated that it is standard to have specifications prior to tenders being done, I had a concern expressed to me, Mr. Speaker, from a constituent in respect to a contracting tender which was awarded by Arctic College, Thebacha Campus. This tender was awarded back on September 18, 1991 when Thebacha Campus published an invitation to tender on a contact, to provide janitorial services "as and when" required.

Apparently, this contract was to provide periodic cleaning services primarily to accommodation units for students with dependants. Mr. Speaker, when I looked at the tender information package there were no specifications as to the type of work that would need to be performed under the terms and conditions of the contract. Can the Minister explain to the House, how his Arctic College management can expect firms to submit tenders on the cost of services, when there are no details in the tender package about what services the College wants to purchase? Thank you.
