Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Like I said earlier, this issue came to my attention just about an hour before session started. So there is very little time to sit down with anyone who is involved in this company. Normally, if a company like that is concerned, they could contact me and we will discuss it at a time when we aren't under time pressure. There are other contracts that will be let out in that area. The honourable Member is requesting that this particular firm out of Rae-Edzo get preferential treatment in that area. You are going to have to consider that with the fact that there are another 10 firms out there. Depending on the composition, we are going to have to discuss this further in light of your request. It is a serious concern for the Member and for myself. Unfortunately, we can't really deal with it at this point. I would suggest that we get together with the people he represents, the department and look at this concern and see if we can resolve it for future work that may be coming up. Thank you.
