Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my statement today is in regard to the timing of contracts that have been let go in the Mackenzie Delta region. A lot of these projects that should have been constructed over the summer period are now just being put out for tender. A lot of the access clients who have made attempts to get the program in which their units are only now being constructed. With the short construction season in the north, Mr. Speaker, it is crucial that these tenders be let go and opened sooner so we can take advantage of the summer season and the work that is needed in a lot of our smaller communities which depend on these small projects. Mr. Speaker, I will be asking the Minister questions later on the timing of allocating contracts, tenders for capital projects and housing units in our communities. I do not think it is appropriate for contracts be let go in August and that construction starts in September or October. These are essential projects that communities look forward to for the work and also the needed construction during that short period of the season. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
