Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Of course, it is always difficult to define what conversation took place between two parties if you are not at the table. Mr. Speaker, what is important here is that this government has made a clear commitment to try to answer some of the concerns that have been raised by industry with respect to request for proposals.

In my numerous discussions with Mr. Aho and Mr. Maddigan, who I hope, my honourable colleague was referring to, I will check with him later on this afternoon. I did indicate to him I would appreciate direct input from the NWT Construction Association as I have requested from others, with respect to some of the changes and the transparency they would require to give them the assurance that RFPs were a transparent and competitive process.
