Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The objectives of the negotiated contracts are always balanced against other contracting objectives, including providing best value for spending public funds. Each request to negotiate is carefully considered by the department and a decision to proceed is seeking Cabinet approval to negotiate or, in some instances, a decision to proceed to tendering. In this case we decided to go to public tender, Mr. Speaker, and this resulted in a savings of $2 million. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
