Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, wherever possible, we are working with the local contractors, and also working through our local housing authorities, by requesting them to take on a lot of this work, or a lot of the major or minor repairs that have to be done. Right now, most of that work is done through the local housing authorities, which do a lot of that work in-house. Most of that activity takes place over the summer months, but we do allow for people to bid on these contracts by way of the tendering process. In some cases, we do have bidders who come from outside the communities which are lower. That is why; we go with the lowest bids, wherever possible.
