Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are for the Minister of Finance. I believe public confidence in oversight of the sole source contracts might be improved if reports for the last two fiscal years, that's 2014-15 and 2015-16, were produced and posted to the website. Could the Minister make a commitment to produce these reports as soon as possible? Thank you.

Yes, thank you, Mr. Chair. These are normally produced at the end of each fiscal year and I believe these reports are also tabled. I will confirm that and share that information with the Member. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. As I pointed out in my statement, with the increased purchasing amounts, these contracts may be of more interest to larger non-resident suppliers. I'm wondering what kind of change there'll be in this to the BIP Application to the sole-source so that we know that sole-source contracts go to Northern suppliers. Mahsi.

Mr. Speaker, the Member is correct. You know, there will be more interest in a lot of these procurement processes because the amounts are available, but again it was encouragement we got from the business community. BIP would still apply to these, and I can assure the Member and all Members that we take all steps necessary to ensure that our Northern-bases businesses have a fair opportunity and a good opportunity to secure these contracts.
