Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the superintendent of the Inuvik transportation division, Gurdev Jagpal, on August 15th requested that they crush an additional 10,000 cubic metres from that pit for the Department of Transportation.
So on one hand, the public is requesting crushing and the department is requesting crushing 10,000 cubic metres of gravel from the superintendent of Transportation in Inuvik. That was part and parcel of the contract that was let, that that was also going to be crushed in this contract.
Again, can the Minister clarify his statement? He stated the only way they will allow crushing to take place is if it was in the interest of the Department of Transportation and the additional contractor, which was the Town of Inuvik. I would like to ask the Minister to clarify that point. The department requested 10,000 cubic metres of gravel.
