Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I was not aware, personally, about the Denendeh Development Corporation's unsolicited proposal until about three weeks ago. I was not aware that there were meetings going on with regard to the Laing Building. The scenario that developed and the final decision by Cabinet to propose for the sale of Laing Building is based on the work that the DDC had already done. I do not think it is fair that they were not taken into consideration at all. There are other aboriginal corporations and groups that are interested in the Laing Building, as well, other than DDC and the Gwich'in. How do you accommodate them, as well? That is something that we had to deal with in Cabinet. The final decision is that, yes, the Laing Building is the Government of the Northwest Territories' own asset, over which we have control to sell or lease. This is the only building that we have that type of control over. In this case, it took a long time but the decision was made last January to go ahead and sell it.
During the summer, the officials of Public Works and Services had general discussions with DDC, but they did not have the authority to sell the building at that time. The authority was not given at that time. It only happened in January. These are all preliminary general discussions of possible proposals. It is up to a proponent to try to convince Cabinet to go for their proposal at that time but it never did materialize. It was worked into the overall Yellowknife general plan for the office plan. That is how it was handled. Thank you.
