Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, on May 1, 1996, 1 asked the Premier if he would consider publishing a list of contracts which are sole-source. The Premier replied, and I quote from the unedited Hansard: "We already have and we do table all sole-source contracts and negotiated contracts." I have had the opportunity to review the list of tabled documents since 1991 and have been unable to find this document which lists all sole-source contracts. Would the Premier please inform this House as to whether or not the government does, in fact, regularly table all sole-source contracts and negotiated contracts? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Question 155-13(3): Tabling Of All GNWT Contracts

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I can't find them. The accountability of government to the public when spending funds must be visible. Publishing a list of sole-source/negotiated contracts would provide accountability and ensure that the public money is being spent in a manner that is in the public interest. Would the Premier be willing to publish a list of contracts and ensure that this document is indeed tabled in the House? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, I'm very pleased to hear that it will be tabled and the public will be able to see. Can I ask the Minister when he expects this to happen?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It was my understanding we had done it previously on an annual basis and we will continue to do that on an annual basis. Thank you.

As I said, Mr. Speaker, I have spent quite a few hours in the library looking for the documents, and I went back to 1991 and I couldn't find this annual report. Maybe the Minister could tell me what the report is called so I can find it and look for it. It hasn't been tabled as far as I could see.
