Thank you, Madam Chairperson. Madam Chairperson, first of all I believe the Member is referring to regional superintendents rather than regional directors. I commit to the department perhaps meeting with the regional director and sit down and see if we can come up with exactly how we can better advertise our needs. There is no doubt that this would be beneficial to the department if we can get cheaper services directly from the communities, however, I am not sure here if the problem is partly that we would be competing with our own as and when contractor. Nevertheless, there is obviously a need here for the department to advertise its needs and also somehow to get a list of those qualified businesses that are existing in the small communities and that are available for work. Thank you, Madam Chairperson.
