Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There is no specific program in place for any specific sole sourced contract. But we have done many things in the Northwest Territories as the Northwest Territories Government to ensure that we stop leakage to southern Canada. For example, all tanks are now manufactured in the Northwest Territories, and all the sewer tanks are manufactured, water tanks are manufactured in the north. Windows are manufactured in the north. Doors, cabinets are manufactured in the north. Trusses are manufactured in the north. So there are many things that have traditionally come from the south, say five years ago that are now being manufactured in the Northwest Territories. So if there are any sole sourced contracts with southern companies that can be done in the Northwest Territories, I would be pleased to do that and do that as soon as possible because there is no interest to this government to sole source contracts with southern companies if it does not benefit the Northwest Territories and the northern people. Thank you.
