Mr. Speaker, unfortunately the existing classification system is outdated and needs to be replaced. We just had an agreement with our unions to renovate it. The new universal classification system eliminates gender discrimination and evaluates jobs effectively.

Mr. Speaker, I have already answered that question.

The report of the auditor general on that question is based on data that were collected for 1995. This was a problem. We have now rectified the problem and over 80% of these professional service contracts are granted under competitive bidding.
