Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Ningark on September 9, 1992. G.N.W.T. construction dollars awarded in the N.W.T versus the south. For the N.W.T. Housing Corporation the following statistics are for contracts awarded until July 30, 1992. Of the 98 total contracts awarded, 96 contracts went to northern firms, at a total value of $23,397,172.00. 99 percent of the value went to northern companies. For the Department of Public Works, the following statistics cover the period from April 1992 until June 30, 1992, which is the first quarter of the fiscal year. Of the total contracts awarded to northern firms received 94 percent, or 116 contracts. Southern firms received six percent, or 12 contracts. Of the total contract value of $24,203,409.00, northern firms received $17,020,244.00, or 70 percent of the total value. Southern firms received $7,183,165.00, or 30 percent of the total value. The above summary represents only the general contractor who was awarded the contract. It is also important to analyze the northern subcontract value of the contracts that were awarded to southern firms. Of the 12 contracts awarded to the southern firms, just three of those contracts make up 91 percent of those dollars. The three large contracts were for the Fort Liard school addition, the Rankin Inlet D.N.D. F.O.L. Fuel Storage Facility, and the Gjoa Haven Tank Farm. On the Fort Liard project, northern subcontractors received 77 percent of the total value of the work. On the Rankin Inlet project, northern companies received 70 percent. On the Gjoa Haven project, northern firms received 37 percent. Taking the subcontract portion of these three jobs into account, the value of contracts going to northern firms is $20,275,331.00, or 84 percent. The value going to southern firms is $3,928,078.00, or 16 percent. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
