Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the beginning of this process, in Rankin Inlet for example, we were approached by Ilagiiktut Ltd., owned by Inuit shareholders from the Keewatin region. They would be the landlords of the office. I have taken their request to negotiate. Cabinet gave me approval to negotiate under the conditions that all the work is carried out in the north by northerners, all local people have to benefit. People in that community agreed that would be negotiated.
Also, the same conditions apply in Fort Simpson. The Nahendeh Development Corporation, the band, the Metis and private enterprise people are involved in the community of Fort Simpson. It is supported by the community as it is in Rankin Inlet. The majority of labour on the job should be local. Contractors are required to use 100 per cent local and northern subcontractors and suppliers. That is the condition we are now negotiating. When the department reaches agreement with these two companies, it goes back to Cabinet for approval. Thank you.
