Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That is 100 percent correct. What we call political peace in the community, you have to have community support to negotiate a contract. We have a budget. If it is $100,000, you have to negotiate that contract and bring it in under $100,000. It also has to have 100 percent northern involvement. They are not allowed to have any southern involvement at all on a negotiated contract. In the Nunavut claim area, there is one other clause, that is, you have to advertise for 21 days because of Article 24 and if any other Inuit companies say they are interested, then you cannot negotiate. Then you have to go to public tender. Thank you.
