Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we will ensure that we are appropriate and guidelines are followed and procedures are followed. But I would like to point out, as well, that we have some very significant contracts that are with a specific provider. The one that immediately comes to mind, of course, is the capital health authority, where we have over a $10 million arrangement with them to provide services. We have numerous arrangements for children in care that are very specialized services that we just don't put out to tender. In cases where it is appropriate, we are talking about goods and services and it makes sense, we make sure that the guidelines and policies are followed. I have committed to that. The Member should just be aware that there are a significant number of contracts in the business that we do. By virtue of necessity, they are done the way they are. Thank you.
