Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's really unfortunate that we spent so much time on this very issue over the last four years and we have so many issues in front of us right now, big issues to deal with with this government, and I'm very much afraid that this issue is going to rear its ugly head again and take up an awful lot of our time. I'm aware of other departments that are looking at playing with the BIP, whether it's the local preference or the 15 percent on different contracts. If this government has the BIP policy and if they feel that it's an important policy to this government, then I say that we stick to it. If not, let's do away with the BIP. But let's do one or the other. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
