Mr. Chairman, all the appropriate policies and procedures have been followed. We are in the process of a negotiated contract process with Dowland, which is majority owned by the Inuvialuit. Once this appropriation is approved, hopefully, by this Legislature, then we will be moving forward to finalize the details. The issue of maximizing northern businesses and employment for Northerners in the contract will be clearly dealt with as well as part of that process moving forward. The initial step first, now, is to conclude the discussions here in this Legislature.
