Mahsi, Mr. Chair. The highway is always a big topic for us, especially when we travel it every day. I would just like to highlight the $83,000 that has been earmarked for the Tlicho winter road last year. Are we going to keep subsidizing the contractor that is currently doing the work? What it came down to was the lowest bid. This is the consequence that we are facing where they are coming back to the government and saying, well, there are additional costs that we need to keep in mind. But at the same time, we said no to the other contractor but now they are coming back for more money. If you times that by three years, it will be a quarter of a million dollars. Are they going to keep coming back every year? I am hoping I don't see them this year again in the supplementary. Mr. Chair, it is a grave concern to me because the contractor made a terrible mistake last year. We have to pay as a government now. Are we going to subsidize even further? Mahsi.
