Well, of course, I see an RFP as a form of public tender, and I think, in fairness to other questions that have been asked by honourable colleagues, I have been in fairly intense discussions with the NWT Construction Association in an effort to fully understand what the concerns are. I think we have it pretty clear as to what has to occur going RFP. Most of those things are left to go RFP because there has got to be some latitude there on the private sector's part, on the investment community's part, et cetera. We have to find a way to reassure not only this House but people like the NWT Construction Association that this has been done in a fair and constructive way, and I am confident that once we get the detail of the policies and regulations, we will be able to do that. Of course, you will have access to that and give us some advice on it. Thank you.
