Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I as well would like to voice my concerns on behalf of my constituents in Inuvik Boot Lake and the companies of Inuvik that are dismayed with the decision on the suspension of BIP on the North Slave Correctional Centre.
The fear is that this could further impact other contracts with this government that help northern companies get some of the bids, compared to their southern competitors. The concern that this government could make such a move without talking to a lot of the people in the Northwest Territories is something I felt I must relay here, as many Members have in this House.
As Regular Members, we are not connected to this decision being made, and having to deal with it after the fact makes it very difficult indeed in responding to the constituents and businesses in our communities. They have come to understand how the government does its business, and when it changes as radically as it has done in this situation, it upsets the rhythm that communities and businesses have come to accept from this government.
With that, Mr. Speaker, I will be addressing this during question period. Thank you.
