Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question today is for the Premier and it is about the procurements practices of this government. I have had a number of constituents raise concerns with me recently. We know that Cabinet decided to waive the Business Incentive Policy on the North Slave correctional facility, phase 2. Their rationale was that they thought it might save us money. Of course, we do not know what the BIP cost is, but never mind that for now. Then also recently, in direct contradiction to that it seems, Mr. Speaker, we decided we were going to get into a negotiated contract situation for water bombing as it relates to forest fire fighting because, Mr. Speaker, we think that a monopoly situation can save us money.
I am wondering why the Cabinet would take such a direct contradiction of position when it comes to procurement in this case.
