Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In regard to the Business Incentive Policy and also the directive, it references MLAs in there, in which we, as MLAs, either will be consulted or be there to support or reject a specific project if we do not feel that it really benefits our constituents.
So there again there are processes that allow for MLAs to be involved and consulted and also have input in regard to how these projects are going to go. If they are going to go sole-source or negotiated contracts, if there is a need for Manufacturers' Directive, that we, as MLAs, should be able to say we do support a specific contractor based on the fact that they will leave economic or social benefits in our riding through training or employment.
There is that opportunity for us to follow through the Manufacturers' Directive. So these policies are there, in which it clearly states the MLAs will be involved and also they will have opportunity to write to the specific departments stating their preference in regard to a specific project.
