Mr. Speaker, I also want to ask some questions of the Minister of Resources, Wildlife and Economic Development regarding awarding of contracts, specifically campground contracts. In the last month or so we had a contract awarded in my riding for operation and maintenance of Twin Falls Gorge, which includes Escarpment Creek, Louise Falls and Alexandra Falls. We had three companies from the community of Enterprise bid on it, and I should mention that this whole park falls within the community boundaries of Enterprise, and none of the companies from my riding were successful. There are different methodologies, as we are finding out, to awarding contracts and the tendering process which is based on street price, negotiated contracts and requests for proposals. They are all tools used to decide how to award the contracts. But I am curious about a campground contract that is only providing firewood, cleaning facilities and it is pretty straight forward, so why does the department use a request for proposals when awarding campground contracts? To me it is pretty cut and dried and there is no need for a request for proposals. Thank you.
