The Minister seems to indicate that there is some criteria then, to determine what is fair, so there is a proper use of taxpayers' money. I would like to ask the Minister this, then, since he said, "One of the criteria we use when we negotiate a contract is that." By "that", he means that this particular group has been doing this work.

In instances throughout the territories, where people have always had the contract, does that mean that these people will have negotiated contracts to do the work that they've been doing for the last few years? Is that the criteria you would use for determining who will get contracts, Robinson's Trucking, or any other outfit, that has been doing jobs for a certain number of years?
