Next I will go to Mr. Yakeleya.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It baffles me that the GNWT doesn’t… A product they’ve already bought, a product they’ve already been given several times, they still don’t respect that. Even if the manufacturing wasn’t respected, on a bid of $216,000 or $217,000, even if BIP was applied at 10 percent, the bid prices were $8,400 apart. Even 10 percent on a $200,000 bid price, that’s $20,000. A northern company should have got it. A value-added would have been in the Northwest Territories.

Can the Minister explain why this company was not given the tender? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Moses. A motion is on the floor. The motion has been distributed. To the motion. Mr. Moses.

I don’t understand the concept, because the Department of Transportation had plow trucks built in the North by northern manufacturers before, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Dolynny.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would also like to recognize Rick Groenewegen, one of my constituents and a hardworking businessman in Hay River. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
