Thank you, Mr. Chairman. We will look at ways to increase the local content in our contracts in those three communities that the Member represents. There are some as and when contracts as well. We’d look at trying to get as much local involvement as possible. We’re not sure about the geographical restricted tendering process. We have some MOUs in place as larger government with the Gwich’in, and so in addition to that maybe we may not want to do the geographical restricting on the contracts because it also benefits the government to have as much of the as and when’s and the smaller contracts done by local people because of the response time and so on, and we support that and we will look at all ways to increase the local content and those contracting from this department.
