Mr. Speaker, the contract the member is referring to was tendered. It is an alliance between the Inuit and this company in the north. A renewal of the contract is possible at some point in time.
Any company that wants to make a proposition is welcome to do so.
Perhaps for the edification of the House of Commons I should finish the quote. When the member for Edmonton was lobbying to have this company get the contract she said that the special evening “was an excellent example of western hospitality. School kids decorated the entire area with handmade NATO country flags. The guests were treated to a fabulous supper of Alberta beef. It was a great display of unity and support” for this contract.
