Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I mentioned in my statement, the sole source and negotiated contracts in some sectors of the business community is leading to some resentment and there is no understanding of why this is happening. It is very important for us to go through and pass my motion. We want to create a system that supports all businesses on a fair and equal basis and not a corporate support system available to some and not to others. I think that is very important because otherwise, we are going to drive efficient business people out of the territories and not create an efficient entrepreneurial system in the territories. The question I have centres around again, will you look at reducing both the sole source and negotiated because I heard you say something about negotiated but I would like to have a look at both. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Today I had lunch with Mike Ferris, the Baffin Island MACA Superintendent. He reported to me that they had worked on the issue of the water treatment plant. He reported to me that the status of it is the hamlet of Grise Fiord will be working with MACA. Also, iceberg cutting will be re-established. They stopped cutting ice for water in May. In the future, the Grise Fiord hamlet will be establishing a system and they will be hiring a consultant to make plans for the future of water supply in Grise Fiord. We will find out from the local people exactly what the intent is and they will be getting water trucks so they can buy water from the community. The hamlet CEO is also working with MACA officials to deal with the issue of water supply in Grise Fiord. Thank you. (Translation ends)
