Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In regard to the whole area of regional suppliers, we have what is known as the BIP process in which there are local suppliers in the Inuvik region who do supply goods and services in which these companies have been in place for a number of years. They have established residency, they have a business, they have been there for a number of years, they support the regional economy. I would like to ask the Minister exactly how is the BIP taken into account when they look at these negotiated contracts?
