Just to get clarification, could the Minister tell me what the status is of the Aurora College in Inuvik? Is that a negotiated contract and who is it negotiated with?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. With regard to this contract, my understanding behind the support letter for this project is it was a joint venture between the Inuvialuit and the Gwich'in Development Corporation. I would like to know at what point in time did that status change where that joint venture no longer exists?

Mr. Chairman, I don't have the exact date, but it was in the fall of 2002 that we received a letter from the Gwich'in Development Corporation who, at the time, were partners with Dowland, that they were no longer the prime contractor and that they were no longer interested in negotiating the contract. They pulled out, in other words. That left it open for Dowland to continue as a negotiated contract.

At what point in time do you have to come back to the Members... The intent of a negotiated contract is you have to get a support letter from the local affected community and the local MLAs. In this case, there was a support letter from myself and Mr. Roland. Did this government go back to those respective individuals and communities to ask if they still supported the project knowing the company has now changed? Did that take place? Part of the approval process for these contracts is it has to be approved by way of support letters by the communities and MLAs. Did that take place?

Mr. Chairman, if the whole contracting process had failed, we would have went back to Cabinet with a request to go to public tender. But that particular contract had not totally collapsed because it just reversed. Instead of the Gwich'in taking the lead as the prime contractor, Dowland was the prime contractor and they had an agreement in letter form from the Gwich'in Development Corporation that the Gwich'in Development Corporation would still be a partner in the negotiated contract.

Can the Minister tell me if the Gwich'in are still partners in this project?

I am hearing something different. I would like to ask the Minister to go back and get that information and clarify who is the benefactors to this contract and what the role of the Gwich'in are playing along with Dowland. What I am hearing is they have been pushed out of the way and Dowland has taken over. I would like to know if you have that in writing. If you do, I would like to see a copy of that.
