Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the Department of Transportation follows a negotiated transportation contracts policy. It is an actual policy of this government. It is slightly different from the Department of Public Works and Services in the sense that we sit down with the different people who want to negotiate a contract. After they meet the criteria, our staff develops or goes through a negotiation process, covers all the different areas that need to be covered in terms of the contract or requirements of the contract. Once they come to a satisfactory agreement, then it is recommended to me as the Minister and I take it to the Cabinet for approval. I think in the case of the Department of Public Works and Services, they have a set of guidelines that they follow which requires them to go to Cabinet first for approval for negotiated contracts before they actually sit down and negotiate the requirements of the contract. Thank you.
