Thank you, Madam Speaker. As a government, we follow a very well defined set of procurement policies. When it comes to preferential treatment for companies, negotiated contracts, those types of things, obviously we rely on political support from the MLA in the region who generally, I think, is very aware of which companies are providing meaningful benefit to the region. That is certainly a filter or one test for us, Madam Speaker, to make sure that in fact we are doing business with the right companies. We can't prevent anybody from bidding on work. It is a competitive process and generally the best bid will win.

In cases where we are looking at adjustments or looking at negotiated or sole sourcing, we want to make sure that we are using companies that leave benefits in the North and we do rely on endorsement from the region, from the local communities and the MLA to help us do that. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
