Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister responsible for the Department of Health and Social Services. It is regarding the Inuvik Regional Health Board, which she is responsible for.
I was surprised to hear there is no appeal process in place when they spend public funds, or allocate funds through contracts. I would like to ask the Minister if she will look into the allegation that there is no appeal process in place. As a Minister, can she intervene in the case of Chii Construction, who held a contract for three years and were surprised to find they were listed in seventh place out of nine bidders? They were the lowest bidder, had three years experience, and people already trained and in place. They came in seventh place. If they were the lowest bidder, lower than the person who was awarded the contract, is that the way the government is spending its money in the Department of Health and Social Services? Thank you.
