Thank you. One of the questions I wanted to continue following up on in a similar vein was general contractors not paying their subs. Although I know that the department will have a, I’ll say a canned answer where they’ll say, well, it’s hands off and it’s not their problem, but that sort of speaks to the diligence I talked about earlier. I realize we’re a public government so we cannot necessarily blacklist per se, but how do we deal with that when we have general contractors not fulfilling, well I’ll call it their moral obligation but by all means their financial obligations by paying their subs? The bond will be the answer, but yet in some cases as of recent, I’m aware that one particular one had signed off and said that they did pay them. So what remedies does the GNWT have if we lose our rights under holding their bond in place? I mean, do we have any down-the-road rights to deal with these types of organizations? That’s a major concern. Thank you.
