Mr. Speaker, the three basic conditions for negotiated contracts are that they be cost effective, that they have the support of the community and that they use northerners in the contract. That is the same all across the Territories, East and West. What we announced yesterday is, in addition to those conditions for the Nunavut settlement area, we will now require a 21-day waiting period where we will advertise the intent to go to negotiated contracts and give other qualified Inuit firms time to express interest and participate in those contracts.
