Mr. Chairman, this is a very complex issue, one in which I will not necessarily deal with the questions in the exact order they were presented. There are a variety of different types of processes that are involved when we contract. We did put together a draft negotiated contract policy in response to a request from the Legislature last fall and that was forwarded to the standing committees for review. A document was circulated to Members early last year called PWS contracting methods which provided an outline of how we deal with tenders and proposals and sole source within the Government of the Northwest Territories. I should make it clear that the Department of Public Works and Services does not have the responsibility for regulating the practices of other departments in the way that they follow their contracting. We deal specifically with those areas for which we have responsibility. The rules that guide us in contracting are in the financial administration manual.
