Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister responsible for Transportation, regarding a contract that was let by the Town of Inuvik to access the gravel pit in the Inuvik airport. There was a letter sent to the Minister from the mayor on August 8th. Along with that, as part of the contract, there was a request from the Department of Transportation to also consider crushing 10,000 cubic metres of stockpile into supply for the Inuvik airport.
Mr. Speaker, a phone call was received by the Minister. I quote:
In questioning the Minister, along with the deputy minister of Transportation, in the area of the status of a tender, we were told by the Minister: "Bob called me at home last night and I will not compete against it with Bob."
I would like to ask the Minister, what was meant by "I will not compete against Bob?"
