Mr. Speaker, we have been down this road a number of times. I think past governments' experience would tell you that tinkering with the BIP is not the answer. Let's either be done with it and recognize that it is not relevant anymore, and we will consult businesses to find out if, in fact, that is their feeling, or let's leave it as is. But if we start to make changes to this, we can undertake a great deal of consultation. I can assure the Member there are ways businesses want to be creative and find a way, if they are motivated, to work around the regulations. You are going to have southern businesses able to register a storefront in the North and comply. Wal-Mart is just an example. It is well within the regulations and the policies that we have in place and does qualify as a BIP registered business. They are registered to be able to provide a whole range of products.

Mr. Speaker, I would suggest to you that the real answer here is about levelling the playing field for all northern businesses, making sure we reduce our regulatory burden and our tax burden. The issue of sole sourcing of contracts, really BIP becomes irrelevant. It is sole sourced. It doesn't matter. It wouldn't matter if the BIP is in place or not in place. If there is a sole source that takes place, that is exactly what is going to happen. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
