Mr. Speaker, I will have to repeat it again because obviously the member of parliament did not understand my answer.
There is an open bidding system to which all contracts are posted. Companies from across the country are invited to bid for these contracts. The companies from the west are every bit as good if not better than many others. What they have to do is bid for the contracts in a fair and open manner. They will win as many as anybody else.
The idea is to get the best price and the best value for Canadians.
