Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My questions are for the government.

  1. Can Public Works and Services, after consulting with another department, authorize demolition of public infrastructure without consulting with the affected MLA(s) and standing committee? If so, does this contravene existing policies?
  2. Who approved the publication of the tender to demolish Dene K'onia?
  3. What was the correspondence between Public Works and Services and Health and Social Services regarding this issue?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
