Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, once contracts are let out, whoever is successful in doing the work, the only thing that we can do is that we can continue to try to encourage them to hire northern and local people as much as possible. The honourable Member's question is that are we going to see an ad in the paper. I think that once we let a contract go to a contractor, then it is really up to the contractor to acquire the necessary type of people that it needs. Perhaps, if they want to go to the newspaper, I guess they go to the newspaper. All we could do is to encourage them and try to keep a close eye on how they go about doing their work. Thank you.
