Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The process for the negotiated contracts is that the contract itself is negotiated by the Department of Public Works and Services so, I cannot make any commitment as Minister of Education. My department provides the money from the budget to build the school or learning center, but we are not responsible for determining the final contract arrangements. That, Mr. Speaker, is decided by the Department of Public Works and has to come back to Cabinet and meet the criteria that have been established for negotiated contracts. If it does, Cabinet will usually support it. Certainly economic benefit for the community and the region is considered by Cabinet. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
