Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry is in the process of preparing a legislation that will be brought to the House. That legislation will ensure that contractors are registered and that their works checked. Initially, the understanding of the word "blacklisting", had been misunderstood and, as a result of that, concerns from the industry and other players have resulted in a legislation that will be brought to this House later in the year, to ensure that contractors who do not conform are taken care of.

Our biggest challenge has been that, at times, one contractor would have a contract with the Ministry of Roads, Ministry of Water and Irrigation and other Ministries and, therefore, there has been no proper documentation of where one contractor fails. That is because he could fail in one Ministry and get jobs in other Ministries. So, we are in the process of making sure that the information is shared by all those who are concerned.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not understand what the word "criminalise" would mean here. I think that when every contract is being drafted, there is a clear clause that talks about default. Default has to do with time; that if you are supposed to complete the project by a certain time and you do not do that, clear penalties are given in the contract that involve severe penalties by way of monies being paid to the Government when that is not done.
