So, again, if that’s the case, why is it that a contract went out for 800 pilings in the Inuvik region for this project? A local Gwich’in company had bid on the contract. They didn’t even get a letter back to confirm that they had received their tender. If you’re talking about local preference and basically allowing for local companies to bid on these projects as subcontractors and not be notified, that tells me that this government is undermining the project by way of project management and not following contracting guidelines that are in place, where you have to identify what the local benefits are and exactly who your subcontractors are. So I’d like to know again: can we get an exact list of the subcontractors on this particular project? Exactly how far into this project are they in regard to these tenders being let, exactly who is bidding on these tenders and who can and who can’t bid on these tenders?
