Thank you, Mr. Chair. I’m not

going to belabour this section very long. I just need to clarify a particular thing under the extended care 18-bed facility being anticipated to be here in Yellowknife. One of the particular issues that has arisen is the competitiveness of those opportunities.

Can I get the Minister’s commitment to this House that it will be a competitive tender process whether it is developed through a partnership with Avens or it’s developed as a government project or some other way? The point is, I want to ensure that this extended care facility is an open and competitive contract, our contractors can be involved in it and at least take a shot. I hear, time and time again, that although they don’t like it when they lose – make no mistake, they don’t like it – the fact is, they like it even less if they don’t get to be involved in the bid.
