Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask another set of questions to the Minister of Human Resources with regard to Northstar losing the EAP contract they have had for seven years. Mr. Speaker, there are such differences in facts about this case between the government and Northstar. Northstar says they were never advised about this inverse ratio calculation. The government says they were, that it was included in the RFP. The government says there was only one name that was added inadvertently, but Northstar states that there are at least three people they know of who were included as part of the subcontractors. Mr. Speaker, we all met in the Legislature with these professionals and they all confirmed the position of Northstar. So this is a real predicament for us.
Mr. Speaker, in the larger picture, I understand that the way the pricing was done for this contract, the southern bidder went by bidding about a $2,000 less than Northstar. Northstar feels as soon as they went over the limit of money that the government had in mind, that they were out of the running. In the interest of the social network and the counselling infrastructure that this business has built over the years, it's a real loss for us. Is the Minister not concerned about the impact of that in the whole scheme of things? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
