Question 90-15(5): Contract Award To Roman Catholic Church

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. I want to ask the Minister of Justice, Mr. Bell, I was very interested in reading the report on government contracts over $5,000. I want to ask the Minister of Justice on one of the items here. It’s an RFP for the Roman Catholic Corporation. They won a contract for $72,000. I want to ask the Minister of Justice if he can explain to the House and the people, are the Roman Catholics in business because they have some pretty powerful people who are helping them out?

---Laughter

How is the Roman Catholic Church in this request for proposals that’s been given to them? Thank you.

Speaker: MR. SPEAKER

Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. The honourable Minister of Justice, Mr. Bell.

Return To Question 90-15(5): Contract Award To Roman Catholic Church

Mr. Speaker, I have to admit that I am not sure what the contract award was for. I am not sure if it was a tender for space in one of our communities, but I will endeavour to find out and get the information to the Member before the day is out. Thank you.
