On March 11, 1993, the honourable Member for North Slave asked a question regarding the amount of contracts between the Housing Corporation and Robinson Enterprises Ltd. over the last ten years, and the nature and location of the work carried out. Records on these matters are only kept for seven years.
The Housing Corporation has had three contracts with Robinson Enterprises over the past seven years.
1. In 1987, Robinson Enterprises was awarded a contract of $96,600 for road construction and the trucking of home ownership assistance program packages to Snare Lakes.
2. In 1988, Robinson Enterprises was awarded a contract of $45,825 for road construction and the trucking of home ownership assistance program packages to Snare Lakes.
3. In 1990, Robinson Enterprises was awarded a contract of $205,000 for road construction and the trucking of home ownership program packages and fuel to Snare Lakes, $65,000 was recovered from the petroleum, oils and lubricants division of the then Department of Government Services for the hauling of the fuel. This reduced the final cost to the Housing Corporation to $140,000.
