Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I don't have a problem with providing the Member with that information for contract or sole-sourced contracts over $5,000.00. We cannot do it under that because you buy pencils, or a few pencils and that would be it.

And the second part of that motion, just for the Member's information; Mr. Speaker they have presented to this House, May 13 and it was voted on -- it was moved by Mr. Picco and seconded by Mr. Ootes; there were 5 in favour.

We will look also at addressing the public disclosure of the salaries and I am sure these two Members are very interested in us doing that. We may not, but we know what that will do to the morale of the public service. I know Members have a concern about that but, we must take direction of this House. So, we will look at following up on Mr. Picco and Mr. Ootes' motion on the disclosure of their salaries, as well, Mr. Speaker, and I have instructed my competent Minister of Finance to look into doing that and we have explored it fairly well.

We all know that when we run for public office, Mr. Speaker, as politicians our salaries will be disclosed. Civil servants, on the other hand, don't run for public service. But we will look at that and we will look at disclosing all our salaries, over $50,000.00, because that is the basic salary of a Member of this Assembly as well.

We will be talking to the boards, the hamlets, the bands, the metis as well as NTI and etc., if they will do this as well, and work with us to do that, because the Members are so interested in that as well. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
