Thank you. In regard to the Charlotte Vehus Home, that was Parkland services, I believe, that was running that program. For somebody to run that program for the amount of years that they have, you’d think that the contractor would bid his contracts based on previous years’ expenditures, and now they’re coming back to us for over half a million dollars. I can see maybe $100,000, but coming back for over half a million dollars to continue to run the same programs and services that they’ve done for years doesn’t make sense to me. Now we’re awarding them a contract where they’ve actually come back to us for over $300,000. Under that award, is it next year that they’re going to come back to us for half a million dollars, maybe more?

This gets back to where I’m feeling that contractors are low bidding this government to win contracts, and only coming back for supps afterwards to do the programs and services. I’m getting the same type of frustrations when this whole process went through and we did it in the House months ago, and I’m very frustrated to see this before us again, and frustrated that it comes in a bundle under a

supplementary appropriation act like this, where we have to approve everything together and this is part of that area as well.

The Minister did mention that they determine their contracts based on the best values. Is that value in dollars or value in services and programs? Can he explain what he means by value?
