I thank the Minister for his answer, but part of the negotiating process is to negotiate. So when he says it was a savings, it's a savings of when he went to a tendered process. So, Mr. Speaker, the Executive Council has heard numerous times that the decisions that are made by the Executive Council are hurting the smaller communities. I know that they're not doing it on purpose, but when they make decisions such as not going to a negotiated contract it has an impact on our smaller communities. Can the Minister please explain how his decision to say no to negotiated contracts is benefiting the smaller communities?
