Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in regards to the concerns raised by the community regarding this particular contract, they were going to have very difficult times acquiring the appropriate permits that are going to be needed to carry this out. Because of that, the delay of that project would have hindered the construction for this fiscal year. As I mentioned, there was also a negotiated contract request by the community, in which the support from the community came forward along with the support from the newly elected MLA. Because of those circumstances, they have changed. Because they were not able to acquire the appropriate permits to carry out this activity, we felt it would have delayed the project and would not have allowed us to proceed. We are, as I mentioned, going to be coming forward, we are looking at a legal opinion, and we will be making the final decision once we do that.
