Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it was interesting to hear the Member rattle off a long list of projects that have gone over budget, many before my time. Mr. Speaker, I should clarify that we have a lot of projects that are on budget. We have budgets from the north end of the Territories and we have projects here in Yellowknife that are going well. So it’s unfair, I guess, to have the public think that all our projects are off their budget estimations.
Mr. Speaker, the Member is correct, though, when he states that we had looked at a capital process that we were utilizing for many years that allowed for projects to come in and be listed on the 20-year needs and then work its way into the five-year needs and sometimes just go right directly ahead of the line. That caused a lot of concern. At the beginning of this government we undertook, through Public Works, an assessment of that and decided that we needed to change the system that we were utilizing and have since now incorporated a new longer term assessment period. In the first year we would need to see planning studies. We wouldn’t move into the next phase, which would be design, until we had a need analysis and operational plan, a Class C cost estimate, and we also would not start construction until the third or fourth year. We also would look at warranty and things of that nature within the fifth year, including the commission of that actual project. We have made a lot of changes. I think it is a better system and allows us to do the proper due diligence and it is working quite well as far as we could see. Thank you.
