I am a bit disappointed that the Minister will not outline the ceilings. He is making my life slightly more difficult. I assume we will have them in good time before the budget is introduced. If the Minister does his change his mind and wishes to give us that additional information, that would be lovely.

On the NDP, we have heard many reports of bid-rigging and about the costs of projects and so on being inflated. Officials from the Department of Business, Enterprise and Innovation are on record as stating that this is happening and is inflating costs, which is a matter of great concern. We need to examine the regulation of such tenders. What are the Minister's plans in that regard?
