Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions today are also about this runaway jail we have. Mr. Speaker, before Cabinet decided to waive the BIP on the next phase of the new correctional facility, did they give any consideration to other potential solutions to address the cost overruns? Did they consider that their estimates may have been wrong? Did they consider the project management contract may have caused them to lose control of the project?

Did they consider that the design architects and engineers may have forgotten they were building a jail and got completely carried away with costly building materials, fixtures and furnishings? Did they consider how much cheaper it would have been to have built this facility in Hay River in the first place?

Did they consider how contradictory a message this would send to southern and multinational companies, who we as a government tell to spend their money with Northerners and develop northern industry? Did they consider how contradictory that message would be before they made that decision? Thank you.
