Thank you, Mr. Chairman. The Member is correct, the electrical subcontractor on the Trout Lake job slipped through. It is my understanding that it is a southern contractor. That is unacceptable for me also, but I cannot overturn that contract, if I could, I would. I cannot do this because their is protection under tender law. It should have gone to the regional person. It was a project management job. Because of the winter road, I am not making any excuses, but it was a rush. The Trout Lake job was a rush job. I learned a lesson from the way in which it was tendered. It will be refined, to say the least, for the next time around. We do many things. We do project management and negotiated contracts, where we tender with a clause for local labour, or are only able to bring in one trades person. We do that to ensure that local people benefit from the dollars spent in their communities. Some things do slip by. Thank you.
