Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I certainly encourage the board of directors to support northern business as much as possible. They do not have a Business Incentive Policy, nor are they required to follow the Business Incentive Policy of this government, because they are not funded by the government. I do believe that, in general, they attempt to give as much business as possible to northern suppliers. The Member brought this issue to my attention some time ago and I believe that, in consultation with the management of the Power Corporation, there has been an agreement that, in future there will certainly be an opportunity for local companies to bid to supply this kind of service. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
