Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I appreciate that the Minister's department does do some monitoring of contracts. However, as a Member, I am not aware of the results of this monitoring. I am not sure whether his department monitors it or whether Mr. Kakfwi's department, which seems to be responsible for the BIP is monitoring it as well. But regardless of who is monitoring it, as a Member, I believe that we should be entitled to this information and, therefore, we would see whether or not the program is being successful. Right now I am referring to the BIP. Overall it would help Members to see where the large expenditures are in fact beneficial to local residents and local businesses. My question to the Minister is, if someone is monitoring, if it is his department or Mr. Kakfwi's department is monitoring this thing, are having in some instances where we have had to refuse BIP as it has been outlined in the contracts? In other words, did contractors live up to their commitments under the BIP? Thank you.
