Thank you Mr. Chair.

I will continue in the same vein as my colleague.

You say that there are cost increases of 10% to 40%. Can you explain the reasons for these increases?

You say that when there is a closed tendering process, there may be cost increases. How can one show that these costs would not be as high if it had been an open tendering process?

Is it implied that workers are not members of the right unions. Is it because your unions have less money? Yet you say that they are paid the same way.

What are the differences that explain these cost increases?
