Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Premier. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Premier with regard to whether or not the government has established certain public policies. Mr. Speaker, we're all aware that the Dene/Metis Holdings is an aboriginal community-based organization in Fort Smith. It is 50 per cent owned by the Salt River First Nations, the Fitz Smith Native Development Corporation and by the Metis Nation, Local 50. The Dene/Metis's objective is basically to unite the Dene/Metis people of Fort Smith in the pursuance of common economic objectives. The opportunity of the maintenance facility was being one of the first of many future projects in the community which they have been pursuing jointly. I would like to ask the Premier, has the government formally established any public policies and related directives in its procurement procedures that recognize the socio-economic benefits of community-based organizations versus individually owned? Thank you.
