Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Members, last fall, in the Legislative Assembly, raised many concerns about southerners or outsiders coming into the communities working when northern businesses had reflected in their tenders that they would hire local people. Very few, but some turned around and hired southern people and brought them in. We didn't have a hammer or a penalty in place that was large enough to stop this from happening. We have already made changes to the tender documents so that if a northern

contractor puts in his tender document that he is going to spend $100,000 in Iqaluit on local labour, he had better spend it, because if he doesn't he will be subject to penalties. For example, we can lift the contract from him or we can remove his business incentive policy and remove the contract as well. Thank you.
