Madam Chair, I have a different view on BIP on how it’s used in that regard. But that said, how do you ensure that the compliance of those types of commitments are when they’re not BIP? What you’re saying is that BIP is the almighty tool, but it isn’t because if a southern contractor said that they would use some northern labour force, how are we ensuring that they’re tackling and using that type of force and how do we make sure that they comply as well? It’s easy to say, well, I think you mentioned 55 percent local, I think, labour. I couldn’t write as fast as you were talking. The point of the matter is, this company that’s doing the work there isn’t local, so how do we know that they’re complying with these so-called local initiatives that their bid originally comprised of? Thank you.
