Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Well it is correct, what the Minister says. It is time to make some decisions but I

am still a bit in the dark as to what exactly this particular program and thrust of the government costs? How much of the territorial budget is devoted to the BIP? I would like to be able to get an answer to that as a starter. Second question I have is, the Minister himself has pointed out that many of the objectives of this policy have been met and I agree with him. Competitiveness was an issue back in the 1980s and early 90s so that northern companies could get the contracts and then to ensure that there was maximum northern content and maximum northern labour. If that has been achieved, and it has been achieved, can any contracts in future not stipulate that it should have a northern labour content and a northern materials content? So perhaps the Minister could address those questions for me.
