Thank you. We are using those tools. We try to support local business as much as we can. There are some folks that enter into joint ventures with contracting companies to bid on the work that’s required in their community or possibly negotiate the work that’s required in their communities. So I know what the numbers are; I know the numbers that the Member is quoting, and from the numbers I’ve seen and the assistance that we’ve provided to the local contractors, we were able to help them build up the capacity so when public tender comes out they are able to bid and be successful. Thank you.
