Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am aware of the question because the honourable Member did raise it a couple of days ago with the Premier. I am not certain as to the reasoning for the Keewatin Regional Health Board's actions on this particular contract. In fact, I am not even certain if it was a tender or proposal call. I will check into the matter. I would like to say, Mr. Speaker, that the Keewatin and all regional health authorities have the latitude to make decisions where they think tenders can be called to achieve some cost efficiencies if they think there is enough competition to warrant some economies in putting it out for public proposal call, Mr. Speaker. I do not know the reasons of why they did, first of all, not follow up if it was a tender or in the case of if it was a proposal call. The reasonings might have come to light in some of the evaluation of the proposals that may have been submitted by proponents in the Keewatin region. I will check into that matter and get back to the honourable Member. Thank you.
