Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I am not saying that. Mr. Speaker, I was saying that if we take things at face value, we could assume that, but we do not know that. We do not know whether the bids are inflated by 20 percent.
What we will find out from this bidding process is whether or not the northern contractors' bids are the same from what we received down south. If in fact there is a need for northern contractors to bid higher in order to offset their costs, then that should be reflected, but we do not know that until the bids come in.
What we are trying to achieve here is a cost reduction on the North Slave correctional project. We have no more room. We have reached our limit. There is no more going back to the Finance Minister for more money on this thing. We are trying to keep it within budget. We believe this is one of the options we are willing to try.
