Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the new Minister of Public Works. No, it's you, John!

Mr. Speaker, the former Minister of Public Works was quite a vocal defender of negotiated contracts in appropriate circumstances, provided the government was assured of obtaining good value. I have a couple of requests for negotiated contracts arising from Inuit-owned corporations in my constituency. I would like to ask the new Minister of Public Works, is he open to the concept of negotiated contracts with Inuit corporations where good value for money is offered on government staff housing and office accommodation? Thank you.
