Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will provide an answer, even though there wasn't a question.

Mr. Speaker, we want to work with the aboriginal leaders and communities to have a policy that achieves what the Member has referred to. We prefer to go the route of, like I said, a request for proposal, because a request for proposal, 40 percent is the amount that is attributed to cost. The other 60 percent is on a whole host of other factors that work in the community's favour.

Public accountability is always very important. No matter what happens, we will always, as a Legislative Assembly, be accountable for public money that we are spending. That one, we are not going to be able to work around, but we can do it on a request for proposal. We can do it by invitational tenders, or we can open it up to full tenders depending on what would be the most benefit for the community. But, Mr. Speaker, I understand the issue the Member is raising. I look forward to the feedback from aboriginal leaders and community leaders on the draft negotiated contracts policy we have. I would also hope that they would have a look at the federal Set-Aside Program, or other ones, and we'll approach this with an open mind. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
