Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I believe that we are on general comments here. We have not reached activities where this particular situation would arise. I am prepared to respond to it at this point in time but it is getting quite specific to an activity and a project within the activity. However, in an effort to keep moving things along here, I can respond here.
I just repeat myself. We follow the policies set by the government in regards to BIP and the Manufacturers' Directive. It is clear that there is a requirement for the company to meet certain terms in the bid. I do not believe that we are slowing down the project. As a matter of fact, we were quite safe in that the time requirements were still there to meet the deadlines. The project will still go ahead on time when the bids do come in.
As a matter of fact, on this particular project, I believe that the bids closed July 4th. There is still time for the contractor to fulfill the work of the contract. We are not trying to slow the project down, but we are making an effort to abide by the policies set in BIP and in the Manufacturers' Directive. All I can say, Mr. Chairman, is that if I get direction from Cabinet or from the Legislative Assembly to disregard the policies, then that is what we will do. But until we get that, we are going to abide by the policy. Thank you.
