My question is in regard to the private partners arrangement that has been tabled in the budget. There has to be some way of monitoring exactly how it is going to play out in regard to having some regulated in such a way we know exactly who is receiving these arrangements and also how the benefits are going to flow directly to the communities, especially in regard to the construction of the school in Fort McPherson where the big push there was to ensure that we have as many jobs generated from such a facility being built and ensuring the monies stay within the geographical region in regard to purchasing of materials, the generation of jobs and looking at a way of training the individuals in the smaller communities where we have high unemployment in the area of taking on apprentice programs when these opportunities come along and going for their journeyman tickets. I would like to ask the Minister in regard to the proposal, is there going to be criteria put there to ensure the communities will benefit to the maximum on any of these projects that take place within the ridings and the communities that these opportunities will happen? Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
