Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We need to clarify this issue again of public confidence and public opinion and I appreciate your support in saying that it is not the Minister's role in defining that, but what I would suggest is that of the 56 or so communities in the north, I would suggest that it is not the majority opinion of those communities that these contracts are done in an improper way. In saying that, I acknowledge that it is a concern. It is a concern in Yellowknife, some of the major communities, the media and of the MLAs, and so therefore, it is a concern that the government needs to deal with. That is how I think we should deal with it. Thank you.
