Mr. Chairman, the department does maintain a listing of all contracts that are issued. I review those on a regular basis. The Member did raise that issue about a year, a year and a half ago, if I recall correctly. We looked into it at the time. I believe it was specifically with respect to architectural and engineering contracts. I believe the interest was in making sure the local firm was receiving a reasonable amount of business. We continue to do that, taking into account that there must be the actual skills within that firm to do the particular type of work we require. If that company does not have the particular skills, we can and do go further into the field in order to acquire those skills.
