Thank you. I guess I am a little bit confused and maybe the Minister or the deputy could speak to the urgency of sole-sourcing with a southern company. Was there some sort of imminent time pressure here that would have made it not feasible to not go out to local tender to determine what parts of this contract could have been provided by northern firms? I have had occasion to meet with most of the computer contractors in town and they vehemently dispute this 81/19 split, the 81 percent Hewlett Packard indicates it had the sole ability to distribute and the 19 percent that could have come from northern firms. They question those numbers and would suggest that the northern component could have been much higher.
Furthermore, and I guess I was curious to know what incentive Hewlett Packard would have to indicate that so little of it could come from the North and they may be aware of the reality that really Hewlett Packard guarantees, by indicating so much of it had to come from them, they assure themselves of getting the sale on that equipment. If this had gone to tender, it's quite possible that some of the northern bidders would have specked equipment that was Hewlett Packard compatible, other brands, and wouldn't have necessitated Hewlett Packard getting all the work. It certainly seems Hewlett Packard would have an incentive to downplay the amount of the content that could have come from northern supplies and, if we are taking Hewlett Packard's word for the 19 percent as the number, does the Minister not have some concerns? So I guess I question the urgency for going sole-source and the numbers, the 19 percent, and whether or not Hewlett Packard might not have had an incentive to suggest that so little of it would be available in the North. Thank you.
