Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Public Works and Services. It is back to the old argument of negotiated contracts. From my reading of negotiated contracts, especially in my riding, I have written several letters to the Minister, the department, supporting negotiated contracts in my riding. At the end of the day I am told that there will be no negotiated contracts. I would like to ask the Minister exactly, is it the position of his department or people within his department that there will be no negotiated contracts?
