Mahsi, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, yes, I do understand forced growth and a one-time shot deal here, but every time we come to this table, we always hear about a one-time shot. I personally think this whole contract issue seriously needs to be looked at where last time it was awarded, the Tlicho wasn't too happy with the contract awarded. We have contractors in the community that can certainly take on the workload. It is already happening from Whati to the junction area, so we have proven ourselves. I hope the Minister will take that seriously into consideration, that there has been a huge mistake that was made the first year, as the Minister may be aware. The way that it was handled, it wasn't appropriately handled. The department had to go back in March to re-fix the whole road again. That is uncalled for. I was there and witnessed it. There were deep pots that we were getting stuck in. Anyway, Mr. Chair, I just wanted to, for public awareness and the Members here, note that this is not acceptable that the contractor is coming back for more money. If that was the case, they should have put it into their contract where everybody knows about forced growth. We are fully aware of that. There is high cost of fuel that is going up every year. They should have considered it at that time too. Fortunately, we are going out to a new negotiation. That is great. Okay. Just a message to the Minister. Keep that in mind in ongoing discussions with the parties in their jurisdiction. We also have agreements in place with our Tlicho Government so we have to respect that as well. That is just more of a
comment to the Minister and also for the Members here. Mahsi.
