I just received direction to look at options yesterday, and I expect the process will be taking place for several months. We are looking for at least 2009–10. I don’t think we’re looking at eliminating our preference policies totally. We want to maintain our local and northern purchasing, and we want to find ways for truly northern businesses to benefit from government spending. As such, we will be looking at ways to provide incentives so that truly northern businesses can benefit.
I think that another aspect is that when you look at the businesses, we have about 1,200 BIP businesses, and 76 per cent of the BIP businesses are located in the larger regional centres. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but what I’m saying is we have to find a way so that the businesses in the smaller communities can access these contracts. We will be looking at that as well.
