Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understand the concern of the honourable Member. Unfortunately, this concern came to my attention right around noon and the letter was written last Thursday from the leaders of the community to try to intervene. The proposal closes in five minutes. I am going to have to respond to the honourable Member in his request that I delay the tender schedule. I will not do that. I will let the tender go ahead. It is a proposal call. The bid is not public. There are three companies involved and they have done this according to the rules. I would like to keep that in place.
Like I said, there is the selection of architectural and engineering services policy that the department is following. I understand that ABT Engineering is aware of this policy. It is the practice of the Department of Transportation to follow this policy. Thank you.
