Thank you, Mr. Chairman. My final question on this area. If the proposals that were presented, I would think it is fair to say that there is probably always questions of clarity needed in them. One of the proponents on this liquor warehouse proposal complained to me that they never received any contact list, any government official for clarification of anything in their proposal. Is it reasonable to say that when a proponent presents a proposal that everything is that clear, that no explanation is needed? I think that if the proponent found it rather offensive that they had gone to a lot of expense and time to put this package together and the evaluation team, if you will, never even asked them anything about it or any clarification or anything. So, I think that what they were offended about is all the time and effort they put into it. They are number one, not going to get a look at how they stacked up against the other proponents. They do not get a call for any clarification. They do not get any input into it, and a decision is made. It is extremely secretive. So that is what breeds discontent. What I would like from the Minister is some comment as to when Mr. Arlooktoo was going to be looking at this? When that might happen? What input ordinary MLAs will get, into that particular proposal? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
