I think for clarity purposes I want to advise my colleague the person in the tender process we do not open the books, we give the price only to the competitors. In other words, we publish the price. Company A bid this. Company B bid that, C, D, E, F, G. That is what we give under the tender process. The RFP process, as I said earlier, has been raised by a number of Members for a variety of reasons, I would imagine. It is a method that government uses to get some creativity sometimes when we do not have it. It comes under significant amount of scrutiny, usually by more than one department, in terms of the final decision, and then it goes up the pipe. So, it is announced. I think the Premier has indicated and Mr. Arlooktoo has indicated they are going to re-examine that. I cannot commit today to saying that we could show one competitor how the other competitor got an edge if it was beyond price. That is what I would say at this time. Thank you.
