Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, as I stated, I guess I would say that as the Government of the Northwest Territories we would not rather bring something like this to the table. But unfortunately, with the work that was done, the process that was used, trying to bring agreement to the table around this facility has ended us in a situation where this needs to get done. A decision had to be made and it is now here at this table for either the endorsement or the House's disagreement with what's being presented.
Yes, it is not a good position to be in and it's not a good position for Members to be in. It's not a good position for FMB to have to bring this forward. But between the discussions, planning and process used, a decision wasn't made in a timely fashion and now we're in this situation where there is a requirement being placed about us by those that have the authority to do so, to meet minimum requirements, and that is what is being brought forward to this House. Thank you.
