Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct a question to the Minister of Transportation regarding projects within his department relating to the construction and maintenance of winter roads. For example, the winter road into Lac La Martre is already proceeding on the basis of a negotiated contract, as opposed to more standard and possibly less costly tendering practices. I am interested in whether this negotiated contract has resulted in any greater success in the involvement and hiring of aboriginal people, than if the project had been tendered. Can the Minister indicate to the House what arrangements have been made with this negotiated contract with Nishi-Khon/PCL for local involvement?
