Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have two questions to the Government Leader. One is a question in response to a written question that I asked earlier regarding tender calls or practices.

1) Was a tender call requested for the ice roads between Inuvik and Aklavik, or between Inuvik and Tuktoyaktuk?

2) If not, what are the reasons for waiving the tendering process?

3) Are all the contractors provided with the same permits or documents necessary to carry out government contracts in which they were successful, or necessary in preparing their submissions to government tenders?
