Mr. Chairman, I do not have a question on page 5-12, but I have a question on page 5-11, petroleum products. My question, Mr. Chairman, is I would like to know if the department is tendering petroleum product contracts in my region, Inuvik, Tuktoyaktuk, Sachs Harbour, Paulatuk and Holman?

I apologize Mr. Steen. You had indicated to me earlier that you wanted to ask a question on page 5-11. Do we agree Mr. Steen will ask a question on this page, petroleum products? Mr. Minister.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As the contracts come up, we will be putting them out for public tender, the soonest will be about 2001. The staff is trying to get that information. We do not have that information at our fingertips. We will get that information right away. The information here is that this department has issued further extensions to all the short-term contracts and all these agreements are now scheduled to expire March 31, 1999. I think that is the latest information we have here. We thought there might have been the possibility of privatization, but that is on hold. Therefore, everything was on a holdback on a month-to-month basis. Since the privatization process is not going to happen, we are going to be scheduling the issuing of the contracts after the end of March.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I understand these contracts were short-term due to the privatization initiative. I recall recently seeing an advertisement in the paper for petroleum product services for Tuktoyaktuk. Why is the Minister suggesting this is not going to happen until 1999?
