Mr. Speaker, I would have expected the Minister to have those answers before he decided to go to a sole-source contract. He should know the history of how the contracts were awarded initially and he should know what was done to make sure that everybody was on a fair playing field.

I would like to know if this Minister could tell us how he could justify that we have to contract or tender out the smallest of aircraft contracts, even down to $1,000 but yet we can sole source a $30 million contract? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
