Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in regard to myself getting involved in this process, I was called by the contractors in question. It was at the point where there was $3,500 difference and I made attempts to call different departments where Ministers were not available because they had other commitments. I spoke to the deputy minister of RWED Mr. Joe Handley, and he attempted to come forth with this money to offset the contract. Yet with the whole question about timing, where the contract went out less than ten days later, they reissued the contract without allowing enough time for the contractor and the government to work out an adequate arrangement. For $3,500 I do not feel that this serves justice to the construction association in the north.
