Well, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. That is exactly the answer that I wanted to hear, because there are agencies that are funded by the government in Yellowknife that go out to tender for goods which are to be redistributed through a standing offer agreement with, well, I might as well say what it is. It's the health authorities where they have the opportunity to kind of piggyback on the pricing that was obtained by Stanton Hospital. Then each of the regions has the opportunity to take advantage of that, but since the tender originates here it doesn't really give a fair playing field to companies that may want to bid on that. So let me understand clearly then, Mr. Speaker. The Minister is saying that where such a situation occurs as I have just described, that in fact the five percent local preference would not be applied. Is that correct? Thank you.
