Mr. Speaker, since 1993, Tetlit'zheh Construction Ltd. has completed some 35 specific projects and generated $35.4 million in revenues. In 1995, Tetlit'zheh Construction generated $9 million in revenues and over $6 million went to materials, supplies, and subcontracts. $1.5 million of that went to the labour. In 1996, Tetlit'zheh Construction generated over $11 million in revenues, of that, $8 million went to materials, supplies, and subcontracts and over $2 million went to labour. The total revenues for those two years were almost $20 million, $14 million went to materials, suppliers, and subcontracts, and $3.5 million went to labour. Mr. Speaker, in relation to these dollars being left in the Inuvik and Mackenzie Delta region, in the Inuvik region alone, there were 41 subcontractors, which left $12,500,000 in the Inuvik economy. Also, there were two suppliers and subcontractors in Yellowknife, $1,600,000 was left in the Yellowknife economy. In Fort McPherson, there were 7 suppliers and subcontractors and $1,700,000 was left in Fort McPherson. Mr. Speaker, the point I am trying to make is that without negotiated contracts, a lot of these dollars would not remain in the communities. Especially in relation to revenues staying in communities and the regions in regards to negotiated contracts, which puts northern people to work and keeps the money in the north, especially in our region. With that, mahsi cho, thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
