Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Government Services. In 1986, the Cabinet of the day made a decision to call the Government of the Northwest Territories general condition 10.2. I would like to quote a letter which was sent to the department by one of the useable water carriers operating out of Fort Simpson, it says, "I strongly believe that an additional carrier will eliminate a monopoly situation and therefore provide better or more flexible service along with competitive rates which should be in the best interest of the Government of the Northwest Territories and the various contractors they employ." This letter was written April 25, 1989 to a department official. It is four years later, Mr. Speaker, and I have questioned the Minister in November and December regarding this. There is a useable water carrier, operating out of Fort Simpson, who would like to be included in this condition. In the past, the Minister indicated his department was reviewing it. I would like the Minister to advise this House of the status of the review? Thank you.
