Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Premier, the Honourable Joe Handley. My questions relate to information which has recently come to light with respect to sole sourced contracting, and it has been reported in the media that a number of contracts -- seven in total, I believe -- were awarded to a local consulting firm. The contracts exceeded the allowable limit in value. Some of them exceeded the amount that was predetermined that they would cost, and these were sole sourced contracts that did not receive the approval of the Executive Council as per the rules for such sole sourced contracts. I guess it then begs the question, on a government-wide basis, does the Premier know of any other departments, or are there any other instances, where this practice would be taking place? Thank you.
