Thank you, Mr. Chairman. What the Member says is quite true. In fact it is only infrequently that bids are awarded on the basis of the northern business incentive preference. Very seldom is it the full premium. For the most part on most contracts, bids are only received from northern suppliers or northern contractors. We are getting fewer and fewer bids from southern contractors. For the most part again, several northern contractors competing, they get the same adjustment so they are really competing on level ground with each other. Thank you.
