Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Minister responsible for Health and Social Services. It relates to contracting practices of the department. In our last Report of the Auditor General that we reviewed in public meeting, we saw there was a disturbing trend in past years towards sole-sourcing negotiated contracts and, in fact, the use of southern contractors.
The secretary to the FMB ensured us that we had taken a look at our best practices and were in fact changing our evil ways and were going to move towards using northern contractors and towards fair competition.
Can the Minister responsible for Health tell me, of the system-wide review she just spoke of, was this in fact a contract sole-sourced to a southern firm? Thank you.
