Thank you, Madam Chair. Madam Chair, I believe that there was a question in the House last year addressed to the Premier as to whether or not communities who received block funding or who take on full authority contracts for this government. The question to the Premier was, "Are they required to abide by the BIP when tendering these types of contracts"? and the answer from the Premier was, "Yes". Now my question was this, "Who would bear the cost of monitoring these contracts if the hamlets tender the contracts and have to abide by the BIP? Do the hamlets have to abide and monitor the contractor to see that he abides by the BIP?"
