Mr. Speaker, I think it’s the case that rarely have we had a request to defer or delay a project from a community. Usually there are concerns about the fact that we’re not able to proceed with them in a faster method or manner. In this case, the House has approved the budget. Initially those projects that were identified would normally go through the process of a public tender or an RFP. It is outside of that where we do go, for example, as the Member discussed, with the MOU, the memorandum of understanding, with the Gwich’in. We now also have one with the Sahtu, I believe. We would look at projects and see if they would fit and if there’s a capacity to do those projects. We could consider deferral, but like I said, most times there’s concern we’re not moving fast enough on our projects.
