Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Member talked about the similarities between the jail contract and this one. I would like to point out that in the jail contract, the government-of-the-day removed BIP from consideration and didn't protect northern businesses. In this case, the business incentive policy is applying to the evaluation of the contracts and, yes, the government agrees that northern businesses deserve that extra protection. But there is a limit to how much extra protection is allowed under the policy and the policy, I am advised by the BIP monitoring office and by Public Works, has been properly applied in this case. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
