I would submit, as I've submitted in my brief, that when it's taxpayer dollars that ultimately contribute to or pay for these projects, those same taxpayers ought to have access to work on those projects. The reality, the end result in many of these situations, is that quite frankly they don't. In some of these agreements, it's merely semantics. In the Manitoba story, if you will, the end result is that they do not.
