Samuel Gargan Deh Cho

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just before we conclude, one of the things that happened in my community this spring was that some individuals from my community brought in some proposals in regard to the building of the H.A.P. units, and to include a training component so that actually people would be trained as they work. Well, it did not turn out to the individual's satisfaction. All of the contract houses that were awarded in Fort Providence, for example, were all awarded to people from outside the community and really the only work that was available was on those H.A.P. units. How flexible is this government with regard to allowing the corporation to do sole source contracts? In other words, I think we have about five duplex units that are being built in Fort Providence, and public houses, private contractors are not working on those. We also have, I think, five H.A.P. units and those units are also being built with no real training or anything of that sort included with it.

I would like to eventually see the corporation being able to say, you know these are the people that do the contract work in the communities, and we should negotiate the H.A.P. units with them to see how they might best be utilized, and maybe put a training component in there, and at the same time, allow them the same opportunities to do the same thing with public units.

So, just something that I wanted to mention, because I was quite disappointed that the individual who submitted a proposal, never got the necessary support to even get it off the ground.
