Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the government is now reporting the contracts over $5,000 as sole-sourced or negotiated. My question was, if there is a requirement within the Financial Administration Act to do that. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know that we have been doing that for years. I am not too sure if it is required under the Financial Management Act or not. I will take the question as notice and I will give the Member that information. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services. It involves the purchasing of computer equipment for Keewatin communities, particularly my two communities Arviat and Baker Lake. Mr. Speaker, it is my understanding that the nursing station will be receiving in Arviat 16 computers even though they only have nine staff including the janitor. I am just wondering what the computers are for and who makes the decision to purchase such equipment? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we undertook to purchase computer equipment for health centres throughout the Northwest Territories this current fiscal year. I do not know the specifics as to where every individual unit was supposed to go. Obviously, I can find out. It was an initiative of the department in order to upgrade the equipment requirements globally across the territories, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, are these computers that were purchased, were they publicly tendered?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do not know if it was a public tender or a public request for proposals but it was under one of those two methods, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the health centre in Arviat, I know, is in need of certain medical equipment such as suction machines. Who would make the decision as to whether they would get this equipment or not? Thank you.

Thank you. The capital requirements would be for community health centres, would go through the regional boards through capital small equipment. I believe, it is called contributions or program, that we provide. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask some questions on contracts let by this government. In the reporting of those contracts over $5,000 by this government, can the Premier tell me if all contracts issued by this government are reported? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Premier said that as far as he knows all contracts issued by this government are reported. Are they reported in that book as negotiated and sole-sourced? Thank you.
