Thank you, Madam Chair. We haven't done a review specifically if it's negotiated contract process or a public tender. As I stated, one of the reasons this is larger than normal is because of the amount of money that was put into the capital plan increased significantly in prior years. Previously our capital plan was targeted at $50 million. We are now targeted at $75 million. So just the volume of capital projects approved has increased significantly as well as the dollars that came through the Northern Strategy trust fund. That is added to that, as well as the federal gas tax contributions. That has increased the amount of money that's available and a lot of communities were not prepared to deal with that type of a volume initially. As we go through this process in future years, that will start to take care of itself.
One of the other concerns, a bigger one we will have to deal with, is how do we ensure there is competition amongst some of the contracts. A lot of our larger construction companies that dealt with the multi-million dollar contracts we have in place are no longer in the North, or are not dealing with the North, or think, for one reason or another, that there is less risk in other jurisdictions rather than the Northwest Territories and have moved out of the Northwest Territories to focus on their work. So that is one of the areas we are having to have a look at.
