Thank you, Madam Chair. I raise my concerns, as I stated earlier, that though we seem to be comparing northern companies to southern companies, this is also used northern versus northern.

For example, in my region of Inuvik, last summer I believe it was, a contract was let out and BIP was involved and the company bidding from the region lost out to a company from this area. BIP was involved in that factor. The company further away received more points for local hire. We definitely need to address this. I would hope that would be addressed in a more timely manner than has been to date.

I have stated on many occasions that we have done enough studies to insulate this building, I think this is going to be another one to it. Hopefully, we can get on with this and try and correct some of those problem areas we have, especially when it comes to northern companies versus northern companies.

I think, as we have heard earlier, that we need to somehow be able to rate companies. If they say they are going to hire 20 local people, how do we know that? Is it because we are dealing with the points beforehand? We are rating people before they have to actually do the work. It is easy enough to say they tried to hire 20 people and nobody showed up to work, so they hired 20 people from wherever. Hopefully, we will address this and especially have a look at the way we begin the process. Thank you.
