Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, honourable Members. Mr. Speaker, the northern company's bid was also priced using materials supplied by another northern firm. So there was an opportunity here to keep all of the money in the north. Mr. Speaker, I think this is a shocking situation. I have written the Minister of Public Works and Services demanding that he look at this incident and take steps to ensure a similar situation does not again. If this government really does support northern business; if this government continues to insist that the business incentive policy is an important economic initiative, then it is inexcusable to give contracts to southern firms rather than northern ones when the difference in price is less than one per cent. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
